Question

A tree that is 8 feet tall is growing at a rate of 2 feet each year. A tree that is 16 feet tall is growing at a rate of 1 1/2 feet each year. Enter the number of years it will take the two trees to reach the same height

Answer 1

Answer: 8.

This is because for every 2 years the 10 foot tree will grow one foot and for every year the 8 foot tree will grow one foot.

It takes 8 years fort the 10 ft tree to be:16

This is because you do:

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=16

It takes 8 years for the 8 food tree to be: 16

You do:

2+2+2+2+2+2+2+2=16 and we added it 8 times and in 8 years it will be 16
