Answer:
Part A) The rate is
Part B) In 1 year the tree grows 3 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
Part A) write the rate at which this tree grows as a fractions
we know that
To find out the rate at which the tree grows divide 1/4 foot by 1/12 year
so
Part B) how many feet does the tree grow in 1 year?
we know that
The tree grows at rate of
Simplify
That means ----> The tree grows 3 ft in 1 year
therefore
In 1 year the tree grows 3 feet
Answer:
The answer is
Step-by-step explanation:
when writing scientific notation, there must be one number to the left of the decimal point.
To achieve this in this problem, you need to move the decimal point 3 times to the right.
because you are moving the point to the right, the exponent will be negative.
*rule of thumb: moving the decimal to the left will give you a positive exponent, moving to the right will give you a negative exponent*
therefore you answer should be written as:
