Question

Plant B is 623 inches tall. Plant C is 4415 inches tall. Complete the sentences and show your reasoning. Plant C is _______ times as tall as Plant B. Plant C is _______ inches ____________ (taller or shorter) than Plant B

Answer 1

Answer:

Plant C is 7.09 times as tall as Plant B

Plant C is 3792 inches taller than Plant B.

Step-by-step explanation:

Plant C= 4415 in

Plant B =623 in

Ratio of lengths = $\frac{length \ of \ Plant C}{length \ of\ Plant B}}=\frac{4415}{623}=7.09$

So, we can say Plant C is 7.09 times as tall as Plant B

Difference in lengths = $4415\ in - 623 \ in = 3792 \ in$

So, we can say Plant C is 3792 inches taller than Plant B.
