A plant grew 18 inches in over 5 months. The plant grows the same amount each month. How many inches did it grow in 2 months?
7.2
How much would the plant have grown over the span of 4 months?
How about just give us the answer, idiots
To find out how many inches the plant grew in 2 months, we can set up a proportion based on the information given.
We know that the plant grew 18 inches in 5 months, and it grows the same amount each month. So, we can say that the growth rate is 18 inches / 5 months = 3.6 inches per month.
Now, we can use this growth rate to find the growth in 2 months. We'll multiply the growth rate by the number of months:
Growth in 2 months = 3.6 inches/month * 2 months = 7.2 inches.
Therefore, the plant grew approximately 7.2 inches in 2 months.
