Answer:
0.15 inches per month
Step-by-step explanation:
step one:
This problem is focused on the growth rate of a plant.
given data
the plants grow 5 inches in 34 months
and also that 1 month= 4 weeks
step two:
We can still say that
if 34 months see a growth of 5 inches
then 1 months will be X inches
cross multiply we have
X= 5/32 inches
step three:
converting this number to decimal we have
X= 0.15 inches per month
Therefore the growth rate would be
0.15 inches per month
