At the beginning of spring, Morgan planted a small sunflower in her backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 25 inches tall. The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 2.5 inches per week. How tall would the sunflower be after 7 weeks? How tall would the sunflower be after ww weeks?
Answer
Attempt 1 out of 2
Height after 7 weeks:
Height after ww weeks:
Height after 7 weeks:
To find the height after 7 weeks, we need to multiply the growth rate per week (2.5 inches) by the number of weeks (7) and add that to the initial height (25 inches).
Height after 7 weeks = 2.5 inches/week * 7 weeks + 25 inches = 17.5 inches + 25 inches = 42.5 inches
Height after ww weeks:
To find the height after ww weeks, we can use the same formula. However, since we don't know the value of ww, we cannot calculate the exact height. We can only express it as a function of ww:
Height after ww weeks = 2.5 inches/week * ww weeks + 25 inches = 2.5ww inches + 25 inches
