in Lixue's garden, the green pepper plants grew 5 inches in 3/4 month. At this rate, how many feet can they grow in one month? Let 5 inches =5/9 foot
Answers
Answer:3.703 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
This is a simple problem on fractions and unit conversions.
First it is given that it grows five inches in three fourth of a month which is most likely to be 3 weeks. Provided that there are 4 weeks in a month
Thus in ¼th month it will grow 5/3 inches which is 1.33 inches.
When this will be spread across an entire month we will have
5/3 * 4 inches that is 20/3 inches.
Now since 5 inches is 5/9 foot
20/3 inches will be 100/27 foot or 3.703 foot
Answer:
20/27 foot
Step-by-step explanation:
The green pepper plants grew 5 inches in 3/4 month
5 inches =5/9 foot
=> The green pepper plants grew 5/9 foot in 3/4 month
Growth in 3/4 Month = 5/9 foot
=> Growth in 1 Month = (5/9)/(3/4) foot
= ( 5 * 4) /( 9 * 3)
= 20/27 foot
Growth in 1 month = 20/27 feet
