Answer:


14 (2)/(5)

Explanation:

Hello!

Acording to the question an elephant grass grows 2 2/5 inches a day, find how many inches will it grow in 6 days?

To find how many inches it will grow in 6 days, multiply 2 2/5 by 6

➟ 2 2/5 * 6

Convert 2 2/5 to improper fraction 5*2+2/5 = 12/5

➟ 12/5 * 6/1

➟ 12×6/5*1

➟ 72/5

➟ 14 2/5

So, the elephant grass would grow
14 (2)/(5)
