Question

Stuart planted a shrub that was 64 centimeters tall. He measured the shrub regularly and found that it grew 1.8 centimeters each week. How many weeks after Stuart planted the shrub was its height 76.6 centimeters?​

Answer 1

Answer:

C. 7 weeks.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the shrub was 64 cm tall at first, take away 64 from 76.6. Now we are left with 12.6. Let's divide 12.6 by 1.8 (that's how many cm it grows per week). When we do this, we are left with 7. This means it took 7 weeks for the shrub to reach 76.6 cm. I hope this helps!
