Question

An oak tree grows at a rate of 33⁄5 inches per month. How much will the tree grow in 6 1⁄2 months?

Answer 1

Answer : The oak tree grows in $6\frac{1}{2}\text{ months}$ will be, 42.9 inches

Step-by-step explanation :

As we are given that,

The rate of oak tree grows = $\frac{33}{5}\text{ inches per month}$. Now we have to calculate the height of oak tree in $6\frac{1}{2}\text{ months}=\frac{13}{2}\text{ months}$

As per question,

The oak tree grows in 1 month = $\frac{33}{5}\text{ inches}$

The oak tree grows in $\frac{13}{2}$ months = $\frac{33}{5}\text{ inches}\times \frac{13}{2}$

                                                      =  42.9 inches

Therefore, the oak tree grows in $6\frac{1}{2}\text{ months}$ will be, 42.9 inches

Answer 2

Answer:

42.9 inch

Step-by-step explanation:

Multiply the amount of inches per month with the amount of months

33/5 x 6.5 = 6.6 x 6.5 = 42.9

42.9 inch is your answer
