Students of a standard 4 class planted ochro plants for their CAC project. If the plants increased every week in height by .25 metres every week. How many weeks would it take for the plants to grow to a height of 1 metre?
What is the answer
For the question
1 / 0.25 = ?
To determine how many weeks it would take for the ochro plants to grow to a height of 1 meter, we need to set up an equation based on the given information.
Let's define:
h = height of the plants (in meters)
w = number of weeks
From the given information, we know that the height of the plants increases by 0.25 meters every week. Therefore, we can express the relationship between the height and the number of weeks in the following equation:
h = 0.25w
We want to find the number of weeks (w) it takes for the plants to reach a height of 1 meter (h = 1). So, we can substitute these values into the equation:
1 = 0.25w
To solve for w, we divide both sides of the equation by 0.25:
1 / 0.25 = w
4 = w
Therefore, it would take 4 weeks for the ochro plants to grow to a height of 1 meter.
