Question

A tree that grows 3 feet every 5 years is growing at a rate of ___ feet per year.'

Answer 1

`\bf Step-by-step~explanation:`

Objective: You need to find the number of feet the tree grows every year (the unit rate).

`\bf Steps:`

FIrst, we look at what we have now. The tree grows 3 feet every 5 years, so we have to divide 3 by 5 to get the number of feet the tree grows in one year.

`\bf 3~feet~divided~by~5~years~=~Our~final~answer\\(3)/(5)=(6)/(10)~(multiplied~3~and~5~by~2)\\ (6)/(10) =0.6~feet`

`\large\boxed {\bf Our~final~answer: ~0.6~feet~per~year}`

`The~tree~grows~at~a~rate~of~0.6~feet~per~year.`
