Question

Pls help many thanks

Answer 1

So, let's make these two values improper fractions so they're easier to work with. $4+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{12}{3}+\frac{1}{3}=\frac{13}{3} 3+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}$

So, to get the rate he grew in those months we have:

$\frac{\frac{13}{3} \text{inches}}{\frac{7}{2}\text{months}} =\frac{26\text{inches}}{21\text{months}}$

And to get the rate he grew in one month we have to divide both our numerator and our denominator by 21 to get:

$\frac{\frac{26}{21} \text{inches}}{\text{month}}\approx \frac{1.24\text{inches}}{\text{month}}$ aka he grew 1.24 inches in a month.

Answer 2

1.24 inches is the best answer
