Answer 1

At the given rate, Mr. Hickman's cherry tree would grow 16 inches in 1 year.

Explanation:

I assume the actual question is:

"Mr. Hickman` s cherry tree grew 12 inches in 3/4 of a year. How much would it grow in one year ?"

As stated,

In 3/4 of a year, Mr. Hickman's cherry tree grew = 12 inches

Therefore,

In 1 year, Mr. Hickman's cherry tree would grow =
`(1)/((3)/(4) )*12` inches

= 4/3 * 12 inches

= 16 inches

Hence, at the given rate, Mr. Hickman's cherry tree would grow 16 inches in 1 year.
