Answer:
Mostafa's maple tree grows at a slower yearly rate than an oak tree.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given that:
An oak tree grows at a rate of 1.5 feet per year for twelve years;
After 12 year; the oak tree will be = 12 × 1.5 = 18 feet per year.
Now; we are being told that Mostafa plants a maple tree at his backyard and measures its height at 4 feet.
i.e x years = 4 ft
two years later ; it height is now 6.5 ft
thus;
x year = 4 ft
x + 2 = 6.5 ft
Thus ; Mostafa first measured the height of the tree when it is 4 ft at the age year of 3.2
So;
if 3.2 year = 4 ft
1 year = x
x =
x = 1.25 ft
So if an oak tree grows at the rate of 1.5 ft in a year.
Then, Mostafa's maple tree grows at the rate of 1.25 ft in a year.
From the given information in the diagram attached below; we can infer that :
Mostafa's maple tree grows at a slower yearly rate than an oak tree.
