During a science experiment,Jose used a different amount it water to grow seedlings and then measured their growth.Plant A got the most and grew 1 3/4 inches.Plant B got the least amount of water and grew -1/4 inches. plant C got medium amount of water and grew 2/3 inches.what was the total growth for all three inches. Show work plz ☹️

Respuesta :

Answer:

[tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex]inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given parameters:    

  Growth of A = [tex]1\frac{3}{4}[/tex] inches

  Growth of B = [tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] inches  

  Growth of C = [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex] inches

Unknown:

Total growth for the three trees  = ?

Solution:

 The total growth;

 Total growth =  Growth of A + Growth of B + Growth of C  

 Total growth  = [tex]\frac{7}{4}[/tex]  + ([tex]-\frac{1}{4}[/tex] ) +  [tex]\frac{2}{3}[/tex]

 Total growth  = [tex]\frac{21 - 3 + 8}{12}[/tex]

Total growth = [tex]\frac{26}{12}[/tex]   = [tex]\frac{13}{6}[/tex]inches
