a bean plant was 1.5 meters high one week ago. In 7 days it grew 15 centimeters. Find the current height of the bean plant
We have:
The height of the bean plant 1 week ago = 1.5 meters
The growth of the bean plant in 7 days = 15 centimeters = 0.15 meters (since 1 meter = 100 centimeters)
To find the current height of the bean plant, we need to add the growth to the initial height:
Current height of the bean plant = Initial height + Growth
Current height of the bean plant = 1.5 meters + 0.15 meters
Current height of the bean plant = 1.65 meters
Therefore, the current height of the bean plant is 1.65 meters.
To find the current height of the bean plant, add the growth of the past week to the height one week ago.
Height one week ago = 1.5 meters
Growth in the past week = 15 centimeters
First, convert the growth in centimeters to meters:
15 centimeters = 15/100 meters (since there are 100 centimeters in a meter)
= 0.15 meters
Now, add the growth in the past week to the height one week ago:
1.5 meters + 0.15 meters = 1.65 meters
Therefore, the current height of the bean plant is 1.65 meters.
