Question

A plant's height is 1.4 times its age. Write an

equation for this situation.

A h= plant's height; y=plant's age;
h= 1.4y

Bh=plant's age; y = plant's height;
h= 1.4y

C h= plant's height; y = plant's age;
y= 1.4h

Dh = plant's height; y = plant's age;
1.4 = hy

Answer 1

A

Explanation:

Since we are given self defining variables, h is obviously referring to the plant's height and y is referring to the plant's years or age.

Then, since a plant's height is 1.4 times its age, age multiplied by 1.4 should be the plants height.

The equation would come out to
`h=1.4y`
