Question

The expression 1.5t + 20 predicts the height in centimeters of a plant tt days from today. What is the predicted height of the plant 5 days from today?

Answer 1

Answer:

27.5 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an expression $1.5t+20$ that predicts the height in centimeters of a plant t days from today.

To find predicted height of the plant 5 days from today we will substitute t=5 in our given expression.

$1.5\times 5+20$

$7.5+20$  

$27.5$  

Therefore, the predicted height of the plant 5 days from today will be 27.5 centimeters.
