Question

A sunflower in Julia Rosario’s garden was 12 centimeters tall when it was first planted. Since then, it has grown approximately 0.6 centimeters per day. Write an equation expressing the sunflower’s height, H, in terms of the number of days, d, since it was planted.

Answer 1

Sunflower's height in Julia Rosario's garden
`H = 12 +0.6d`

Explanation:

Given:

Height of Sunflower since planted = 12 cm

It grows at 0.6 cm per day

Let number of days be d

We need to find the Sunflower's height H.

Height of sunflower can be calculated by adding height since planted with growth rate per day multiply by number of days.

Sunflowers's Height H = 12 + 0.6d

Hence, Sunflower's height in Julia Rosario's garden
`H = 12 +0.6d`
