Question

Cara grew 4inches in second grade and 3 inches in third grade. If Cara was 44 inches tall at the start of second grade, how tall is she at the end of third grade?

Answer 1

51 inches

Explanation:

44 + 4 + 3= 51

Answer 2

Height of Cara at the end of the Third grade is 51 inches.

Explanation:

Given:

Height of Cara at the start of second grade = 44 inches

In second grade she grew = 3 inches.

Hence height of Cara at the end of the second grade will be equal to sum of Height of Cara at the start of second grade and height she grew in second grade.

Framing the equation we get;

height of Cara at the end of the second grade = 44 + 4 = 48 inches

Also Given:

Height she grew in third grade = 3 inches

We need to find Height of Cara at end of third grade.

Hence height of Cara at the end of the Third grade will be equal to sum of Height of Cara at the end of second grade and height she grew in third grade.

Framing in equation form we get;

Height of Cara at the end of the Third grade = 48 + 3 = 51 inches

Hence Height of Cara at the end of the Third grade is 51 inches.
