A plant grew 14 inches over 5 months. The plant grows the same amount each month. Use this rate to complete the table.
To complete the table, we need to find the amount the plant grows each month based on the given rate of 14 inches over 5 months.
To find the growth rate per month, we divide the total growth (14 inches) by the number of months (5):
growth rate per month = total growth / number of months
= 14 inches / 5 months
= 2.8 inches per month
Now we can complete the table using this growth rate per month:
Month | Growth (in inches)
-------------------------
1 | 2.8
2 | 2.8
3 | 2.8
4 | 2.8
5 | 2.8
To complete the table, we need to determine the growth of the plant for each month. Since the plant grows the same amount each month, we can divide the total growth of 14 inches by the number of months, which is 5.
To find the growth for each month, we divide 14 inches by 5:
Growth per month = Total growth / Number of months
Growth per month = 14 inches / 5 months
Calculating this:
Growth per month = 2.8 inches
Now we can complete the table using this growth rate:
Month | Growth (inches)
-------|---------------
1 | 2.8
2 | 2.8
3 | 2.8
4 | 2.8
5 | 2.8
By dividing the total growth by the number of months, we determined that the plant grew 2.8 inches per month. We then used this rate to fill in the growth column for each month in the table.
14 divided by 5 = 2.8
It grows 2.8 inches per month.
