a flower was 1.6 meters high one week ago. in 7 days it grew 11 centimeters. find the current height of the flower
To solve this problem, we need to convert the height of the flower from meters to centimeters, so we can add the growth of the flower in centimeters.
1.6 meters is equal to 160 centimeters (since 1 meter = 100 centimeters).
So the original height of the flower was 160 centimeters.
Now, we can add the growth of the flower, which is 11 centimeters.
160 + 11 = 171
Therefore, the current height of the flower is 171 centimeters.
To find the current height of the flower, we need to add the growth in 7 days (11 centimeters) to its height one week ago (1.6 meters).
First, we need to convert 1.6 meters to centimeters since the growth is given in centimeters.
1 meter = 100 centimeters
So, 1.6 meters = 1.6 * 100 = 160 centimeters.
Now, we can add the growth of 11 centimeters to the height one week ago:
160 + 11 = 171 centimeters.
Therefore, the current height of the flower is 171 centimeters.
