Question

What is the plants height after 20 minutes?

Answer 1

14.60

Explanation:

Note that there are 100 centimeters in 1 meter. The plant is 13 meters tall, and grows 8 centimeter every month. It is asking you for 20 months worth (x = 20) of growth.

First, solve for the amount of centimeters total in 20 months:

8 centimeter per month x 20 months = 160 centimeters per 20 months.

Remember, there are 100 centimeters in every meter. Therefore:

160 centimeter/ 100 centimeters per meter = 1.60 meters.

Add the growth to the original height:

13.00 + 1.60 = 14.60

14.60 meters is your answer.
