Della bought a tree seedling that was 2 1/4 feet tall. During the first year, it grew 1 1/6 Feet. After two years, it was 5 feet tall. How much did the seedling grow during the second year?

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Alright, lets get started.

Della bought a tree seeding that was [tex]2\frac{1}{4}[/tex] feet tall means [tex]\frac{9}{4}[/tex] feet.

First year it grew [tex]1\frac{1}{6}[/tex] feet means it grew [tex]\frac{7}{6}[/tex] feet.

It means after 1 year, the height of tree will be = [tex]\frac{9}{4}+\frac{7}{6}=\frac{41}{12}[/tex]

After 2 years, the height of tree is = 5 feet

So, it grew in second year = [tex]5-\frac{41}{12}[/tex]

So, it grew in second year = [tex]\frac{60-41}{12}=\frac{19}{12}[/tex]

So, it grew in second year=[tex]1\frac{7}{12}[/tex] feet.   :  Answer
