An adult female gorilla is 1.4 meters tall when standing upright. Her daughter is 3 tenths as tall. How much more will the young female gorilla need to grow before she is as tall as her mother?
Since she is three-tenths as tall as her mother, she is 0.42 meters tall (1.4 × 0.3 = 0.42). That means she has to grow 0.98 meters to be 1.4 meters tall.
