If a plant grows 8 inches over 14 days how much would it grow in 30 days?
To determine the growth of the plant in 30 days, we can set up a proportion.
Let x be the growth of the plant in 30 days.
We can set up the proportion as follows:
8 inches/ 14 days = x/ 30 days
To solve for x, we can cross multiply and solve for x:
14x = 8 * 30
14x = 240
Dividing both sides of the equation by 14:
x = 240/14
x = 17.143
Therefore, the plant would grow approximately 17.143 inches in 30 days.
