Question

My brother grew 1.75 inches in 2.5 months. If he continues to grow at the same rate how much should he grow in one year?

Answer 1

8.4 inches.

Explanation:

Since there is 12 months in one year, and the rate is 1.75 per 2.5 months,

the equation would look like 12/2.5=4.8.

4.8x1.75=8.4.

He would grow 8.4 inches in one year.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!
