Answer:
[tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given parameters:
number of inches of growth = 5inches
time duration = [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex]month
Unknown:
Number of feet that can grow in one month = ?
Solution:
To find the rate;
Rate of growth = [tex]\frac{number of inches of growth}{time duration}[/tex]
Insert parameters and solve;
Rate of growth = [tex]\frac{5}{\frac{3}{4} }[/tex]
Rate of growth = 5inches x [tex]\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]inches/month
Now,
Number of feet in one month:
= rate of growth x 1 month
= [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]inches/month x 1 month
= [tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]inches
Since; 5inches = [tex]\frac{5}{12}[/tex]feet
[tex]\frac{20}{3}[/tex]inches will give [tex]\frac{\frac{5}{12} x \frac{20}{3} }{5}[/tex] ft
= [tex]\frac{5}{9}[/tex]ft
