Answer:
Growth of elm tree in 1 year is [tex]1\frac{3}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex].
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Length of elm tree last year =
[tex]8\displaystyle\frac{5}{6}\text{ feet}[/tex]
Length of elm tree this year =
[tex]10\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex]
Formula:
Growth of tree in 1 year =
[tex]\text{Length of elm tree this year - Length of elm tree last year}[/tex]
Putting the values, we get:
Growth of tree in 1 year =
[tex]10\displaystyle\frac{1}{12}- 8\frac{5}{6}\\\\= \frac{121}{12}-\frac{53}{6}\\\\=\frac{121-106}{12}\\\\=\frac{15}{12} = 1\frac{3}{12}[/tex]
Growth of elm tree in 1 year is [tex]1\frac{3}{12}\text{ feet}[/tex].
