Answer: the dwarf tree grew by 3 inches.
the semi dwarf tree grew by 6 inches.
the full size tree grew by 18 inches.
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent how much the semi-dwarf lemon tree grew.
Last month, a dwarf lemon tree grew half as much as a semi-dwarf lemon tree. This means that the amount by which the dwarf lemon tree grew is expressed as x/2
A full-size lemon tree grew three times as much as the semi-dwarf lemon. This means that the amount by which the full-size lemon tree grew is expressed as 3x
Together, the three trees grew 27 inches. This means that
x/2 + x + 3x = 27
Cross multiplying by 2, it becomes
x + 2x + 6x = 54
9x = 54
x = 54/9
x = 6 inches
The dwarf tree grew by 6/2 = 3 inches.
The full-size lemon tree grew by 3 × 6 = 18 inches
Answer:
168 and 12
Step-by-step explanation:
use fractions for this think of it as 14/15x and 1/15x and x is 180 and solve from there
divide 36 into 540 36 will divide into the 54 1 time subtract 36 from 54, that gives you 18, bring down the zero from the number 540, now you have 180 to divide by 36, 36 will divide into 180 five times, so your answer is 15
The answer is 15
