Question

If elephant grass grows 3 3/5 inches a day how many inches will it grow in 5 days

Answer 1

If elephant grass grows 3 3/5 inches per day, we can calculate its total growth in 5 days by multiplying the growth rate by the number of days.

3 3/5 inches per day can be written as a mixed number: 3 + 3/5 = 18/5 inches per day.

To find the total growth in 5 days, we multiply the growth rate by the number of days:

(18/5 inches per day) * 5 days = (18/5) * 5 = 18 inches.

Therefore, elephant grass will grow 18 inches in 5 days.

Answer 2

18

Explanation:

If elephant grass grows 3 3/5 inches per day, we can calculate the total growth in 5 days by multiplying the daily growth rate by the number of days.

Daily growth rate: 3 3/5 inches

Number of days: 5

To calculate the total growth, we can convert the mixed number 3 3/5 to an improper fraction:

3 3/5 = (5 * 3 + 3) / 5 = 18/5

Now we can calculate the total growth:

Total growth = Daily growth rate * Number of days

= (18/5) inches * 5 days

= 18 inches

Therefore, the elephant grass will grow 18 inches in 5 days.
