Question

Hailey's hair grows at a rate of 1/2 inch per month. How many months will it take her hair to grow a total of 8 inches?

Answer 1

16

Step-by-step explanation:

growth in 1 month = 1/2 inches

growth in x months = x*1/2 inches

total growth = 8 inches

thus,

8 = x*1/2

x = 8 / (1/2)

= 16

Answer 2

16 months for it to grow 8 inches
