Question

If Nate was growing 1.68 inches permonth, how much will he grow in 6 1/2 months?

Plz help what do I have to do to get the answer?? What’s the answer

Answer 1

10.92 inches

Explanation:

Use a proportion. Set up two ratios equal to each other.

Given ratio:

The ratio of months to inches of growth is

1 month : 1.68 inches or 1/1.68

Now set up a ratio involving the unknown amount.

6 1/2 is the same as 6.5

In 6.5 months, he grows x inches.

6.5 months : x inches, or 6.5/x

Set the ratios equal creating a proportion.

`(1)/(1.68) = (6.5)/(x)`

Cross multiply.

1 * x = 1.68 * 6.5

x = 10.92

Answer: 10.92 inches

Answer 2

10.92 inches

Explanation:

So Nate grows 1.68 inches a month in this case you have 6 and a half month which is equivalent to 6.5 and so in this case you can multiply.

1.68 inches*6.5 months = 10.92 inches
