Question

A plants height is 1.6 times its age. Write an equation for the situation, where h is the plants height and y is the plants age

Answer 1

Y x 1.6 = h Because, if the height of the plant is 1.6 times its age all you have to do is multiply y by 1.6 and you'll get the height of the plant

Answer 2

Answer:  The required equation is $h=1.6y$

Step-by-step explanation:  Given that a plants height is 1.6 times its age.

We are to write an equation for the situation, where h is the plants height and y is the plants age.

The given situation can be written in equation form as follows :

$h=1.6\times y\\\\\Rightarrow h=1.6y.$

Thus, the required equation is $h=1.6y$
