Given:


\begin{gathered} 14\operatorname{cm}in\text{ }60^(\circ)F \\ 11cm\text{ in }70^(\circ)\text{ F} \end{gathered}

The best prediction for the growth that would occur at 65 degree F


\begin{gathered} \text{Grass growth at 65}^(\circ)F=(14+11)/(2) \\ \text{Grass growth at 65}^(\circ)F=12.5\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

1st option 12.5 centimeters is the final answer.
