Question

a zucchini plant in darnell's garden was 14 centimeters tall when it was first planted.since then,it has grown approximately 0.7 centimeters per day, after how many days will the zucchini planted be 0.245 meters tall?

Answer 1

Let's start with part B. if it was originally 10 cm tall and it goes up 0.5 cm. each day, then we know that to go up one cm it needs two days. With that information we can say that 8*2 = 16. So it needs 17 days to go up 8.5 cm which would make it 18.5 cm tall.

Answer 2

Just remember to decipher the centimeters from the meters
