Answer 1

Greetings!

Answer:

$\frac{19}{12}$ feet

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we need to find the height after one year:

2.25 + 1 1/6 = $\frac{41}{12}$

Now to find the amount in the second year, we can subtract the above amount from 5:

5 - $\frac{41}{12}$ = $\frac{19}{12}$

So in the second year it grew $\frac{19}{12}$ feet

Hope this helps!
