Question

A young boy is growing at a rate of 3.5 centimeters per month. He is currently 90 cm tall. At that rate, in how many months will the boy grow to a height of 132?

Answer 1

Answer:

Young boy will grow to height 132 cm in 12 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Growing rate = 3.5 cm per month

Current height = 90 cm

Let the number of months be x

Required height = 132 cm

We need to find the number of months required to grow the height till 132 cm.

Hence Number of months required can be calculate by subtracting Required height with Current height and then dividing it with growing rate.

Framing the above statement in equation form we get;

$x=\frac{132-90}{3.5} = \frac{42}{3.5} =12 \ months$

Hence Young boy will grow to height 132 cm in 12 months.
