Jim's parents keep a chart on the wall where they mark how much Jim grows each year. When Jim was 15, he grew 1/4 of an inch and when he was 16, he grew 1/2 of an inch. In total, how much did Jim grow in during those two years?

Answer: 3/4 inch

Explanation:

When Jim was 15, he grew 1/4 of an inch and when he was 16, he grew 1/2 of an inch.

His growth during those two years will be:

= 1/4 + 1/2

= 1/4 + 2/4

= 3/4 inch

His growth increased by 3/4 inches.
