Show work plz ☹️

Answer 1

Answer:

$\frac{13}{6}$inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:    

  Growth of A = $1\frac{3}{4}$ inches

  Growth of B = $-\frac{1}{4}$ inches  

  Growth of C = $\frac{2}{3}$ inches

Unknown:

Total growth for the three trees  = ?

Solution:

 The total growth;

 Total growth =  Growth of A + Growth of B + Growth of C  

 Total growth  = $\frac{7}{4}$  + ($-\frac{1}{4}$ ) +  $\frac{2}{3}$

 Total growth  = $\frac{21 - 3 + 8}{12}$

Total growth = $\frac{26}{12}$   = $\frac{13}{6}$inches
