A plant grows
3/4 [<- its a fraction] of an inch every week.
Write the ratio in fractional form to determine how many inches the plant grows in a month. (Assume 4 weeks in 1 month.)
(3/4) / 1 = x / 4
Oh, can you explain it?
i don't need the answer, just how to do the question or maybe a link to something that explains how to do it please. thank you if you do so. :)
Okay, i figured it out. thanks for your help Ms.Sue!
To determine how many inches the plant grows in a month, we can first find out how many inches it grows in one week and then multiply that by the number of weeks in a month (which is 4).
Given that the plant grows 3/4 of an inch every week, the ratio in fractional form can be written as:
3/4 inches/week.
Now, to find out how many inches the plant grows in a month, we can multiply the ratio by the number of weeks in a month (4):
(3/4 inches/week) * 4 weeks = 3/4 * 4 = 12/4 inches.
Therefore, the plant grows 12/4 inches in a month. However, this fraction can be simplified further. The numerator (12) is divisible by the denominator (4), so we can simplify the fraction:
12/4 = 3.
Hence, the plant grows 3 inches in a month.
