The snake in Tracy's science classroom grew 4 centimeters in
1
4
of a year. At that rate, how much would it grow in 1 full year?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.
To find out how much the snake would grow in 1 full year, we need to multiply the growth rate by the number of quarters in a year.
Since there are 4 quarters in a year, we can multiply the growth rate of 4 centimeters per quarter by 4 to find the growth in 1 full year.
4 centimeters/quarter * 4 quarters = 16 centimeters.
So, the snake would grow 16 centimeters in 1 full year.
