Question

Mr. Ash owns a tree, which is 42 feet tall. He estimates that this tree is 75% as tall now as it will be when fully grown. How tall will the tree be when it is fully grown?

Answer 1

73.5 feet

Explanation:

The length of a tree =42 feet

Mr. Ash estimates that this tree is 75% as tall now as it will be when fully grown.

We need to find the length of the tree when it is fully grown. It means we need to find the 75% of 42 and adding 42 to it as follows :

`T=75\%* 42+42\\\\=(75)/(100)* 42+42\\\\=73.5\ ft`

So, the tree will be 73.5 feet tall when it is fully grown.
