A seed sprouted and grew
2
3
of a foot in 3 months. What was its rate of growth?
I will assume you are trying to say:
"A seed sprouted and grew 2/3 of a foot in 3 months"
so in one month it would grow (2/3) รท 3 or 2/9 of a foot in 1 months
average rate of growth = 2/9 ft/month
1.14
To find the rate of growth, we need to find the amount or distance the seed grew per month.
Given:
Growth over 3 months = 2/3 foot
To calculate rate of growth (R):
R = Growth over 3 months / Number of months
R = (2/3) / 3
To simplify the calculation, we'll multiply the numerator and denominator by 3:
R = (2/3) * (1/3)
R = 2/9 foot per month
Therefore, the rate of growth of the seed is 2/9 foot per month.
To calculate the rate of growth, we need to divide the increase in height by the time it took to grow. In this case, the seed grew 2/3 of a foot in 3 months.
To find the rate of growth, divide the increase in height (2/3 foot) by the time (3 months):
Rate of growth = Increase in height / Time
Rate of growth = (2/3 foot) / (3 months)
To simplify, we can convert the fraction to a decimal:
Rate of growth = 2/3 / 3
To divide fractions, we multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:
Rate of growth = 2/3 * 1/3
Now, multiply the numerators and denominators:
Rate of growth = 2 * 1 / 3 * 3
Rate of growth = 2/9 foot per month
Therefore, the rate of growth for the seed is 2/9 foot per month.
