Answer:

[See Below]

Explanation:

✦ With this information we can make an equation to solve for
y(years).

  • The tree is
    4 (1)/(2) feet already.
  • It's expected to grow
    1 (3)/(4) feet per year.
  • We are trying to figure our how many years until it's
    40 feet.

✦ So the equation would be:


  • 40 ÷
    1 (3)/(4) =y

✦ Turn the fractions into a decimals to make it easier:


  • 1 (3)/(4) =1.75

✦ Now Solve by Dividing:


  • 40 ÷
    1.75=22.8571429

✦ Round:


  • 22.8571429 rounded to the nearest tenth
    =22.9

So your answer would be
\bold2\bold2\bold.\bold9 years.
