Question

During a science experiment,Jose used a different amount it water to grow seedlings and then measured their growth.Plant A got the most and grew 1 3/4 inches.Plant B got the least amount of water and grew -1/4 inches. plant C got medium amount of water and grew 2/3 inches.what was the total growth for all three inches. Show work plz ☹️

Answer 1

`(13)/(6)`inches

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Growth of A =
`1(3)/(4)` inches

Growth of B =
`-(1)/(4)` inches

Growth of C =
`(2)/(3)` inches

Unknown:

Total growth for the three trees = ?

Solution:

The total growth;

Total growth = Growth of A + Growth of B + Growth of C

Total growth =
`(7)/(4)` + (
`-(1)/(4)` ) +
`(2)/(3)`

Total growth =
`(21 - 3 + 8)/(12)`

Total growth =
`(26)/(12)` =
`(13)/(6)`inches
