Question

Della bought a tree seedling that was 2 1/4 feet tall. During the first year, it grew 1 1/6 Feet. After two years, it was 5 feet tall. How much did the seedling grow during the second year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Della bought a tree seeding that was $2\frac{1}{4}$ feet tall means $\frac{9}{4}$ feet.

First year it grew $1\frac{1}{6}$ feet means it grew $\frac{7}{6}$ feet.

It means after 1 year, the height of tree will be = $\frac{9}{4}+\frac{7}{6}=\frac{41}{12}$

After 2 years, the height of tree is = 5 feet

So, it grew in second year = $5-\frac{41}{12}$

So, it grew in second year = $\frac{60-41}{12}=\frac{19}{12}$

So, it grew in second year=$1\frac{7}{12}$ feet.   :  Answer
