Answer:
[See Below]
Step-by-step explanation:
✦ With this information we can make an equation to solve for [tex]y(years)[/tex].
- The tree is [tex]4 \frac{1}{2}[/tex] feet already.
- It's expected to grow [tex]1 \frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet per year.
- We are trying to figure our how many years until it's [tex]40[/tex] feet.
✦ So the equation would be:
- [tex]40[/tex] ÷ [tex]1 \frac{3}{4} =y[/tex]
✦ Turn the fractions into a decimals to make it easier:
- [tex]1 \frac{3}{4} =1.75[/tex]
✦ Now Solve by Dividing:
- [tex]40[/tex] ÷ [tex]1.75=22.8571429[/tex]
✦ Round:
- [tex]22.8571429[/tex] rounded to the nearest tenth [tex]=22.9[/tex]
So your answer would be [tex]\bold2\bold2\bold.\bold9[/tex] years.
