To find out the effect on Alexander's height each minute, we need to divide the total increase in height by the number of minutes.
The total increase in height is given as 108 inches, and the time duration is 6 minutes.
To calculate the effect each minute, we will divide the total increase in height (108 inches) by the number of minutes (6 minutes):
Effect per minute = Total increase in height / Number of minutes
Effect per minute = 108 inches / 6 minutes
Simplifying this division, we get:
Effect per minute = 18 inches
Therefore, the effect on Alexander's height each minute is 18 inches.
