Question

certain plant grows 1 3 4 inches every week. How long will it take the plant to grow 6 1 4 ​inches? How long will it take the plant to grow 6 1 4 ​inches?

Answer 1

4.6 weeks

Explanation:

In the question, it stated that the plant grows at the rate of 134 inches per week. And we can get the proportion:

`(1 week)/(134 inches)`

Now, if you want to get the number of weeks it takes to grow 614 inches, set up the proportion

`(x )/(614 inches)`

with x representing the number of weeks we are trying to find.

Since the two fractions are proprtional - we assume that the plant will always grow at the same rate, then we can state:

`(x )/(614 inches)` =
`(1 week)/(134 inches)`

Now, cross multiply and simplify:

134x = 614

x = 614/134

x = 4.6 (Weeks)

Answer 2

it will take around 4.5 weeks

Explanation:

614 divided by 134 will give you 4.582
