Question

A tree in leilas backyard has been growing for 3 1/5 years. It is 3/4 meters tall how many meters per year?

Answer 1

Answer:

The tree grew 15/64 meters per year.                  

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Length of a tree = 3/4 meters

• Total time taken by the tree to grow 3/4 taller = 3 1/5 or 16/5 years

To determine

Per year growth of the tree in meters

Per year growth of the tree in meters can be determined by dividing the total length of a tree i.e. 3/4 meters by the total time taken by the tree to get 3/4 taller.

Per year growth of tree = Total Length  / Total time to grow

                                       = 3/4 ÷ 16/5

                                        = 3/4 × 5/16

                                        = [3×5] / [4×16]

                                        = 15/64 meters

Therefore, the tree grew 15/64 meters per year.
