Question

Aimee buys a plant that is 22 7/8 inches tall. After a month, the plant has grown 4 2/3. What is the height of the plant after the first month

Answer 1

27 13/24 inches

Explanation:

Assuming the reported monthly growth is for the first month, the height will be ...

22 7/8 + 4 2/3 = (22 +4) +(21/24 +16/24) = 26 +37/24 = 27 13/24

The height of the plant after the first month is 27 13/24 inches.
