Question

Elena's hanging plant grew 6 inches in 4 months. At that rate, how many inches will it grow in 10 months

Answer 1

Answer:

The plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given information is 6 inches = 4 months, and that may not sound like much but we can get the answer just from that tidbit.

Cross multiply :

$\frac{6 inches}{4 months}$ = $\frac{x}{10 months}$

4x = 60

Divide by 4 on both sides.

x = 15.

Therefore the plant will grow 15 inches in 10 months. Please mark brainliest! :)
