Q. A baby giraffe was born at a wildlife preserve. The giraffe was 6 feet tall when it was born, and it grew 1.75 feet over the next 7 months. If the giraffe continues to grow at the same rate, at what age will it reach a height of 15 feet?____ months
Calculate Total Height: question_prompt: At what age in months will the baby giraffe reach a height of 15 feet if it continues to grow at the same rate it did in the first 7 months?
Calculate Monthly Growth Rate: The giraffe started at 6 feet tall and grew 1.75 feet in 7 months. Calculate the total height after 7 months.
Calculate Additional Growth: To find out how much the giraffe grows each month, divide the growth over 7 months by 7.
Calculate Remaining Months: The giraffe needs to grow from 7.75 feet to 15 feet. Calculate the additional growth needed.
Calculate Total Time: Divide the additional growth needed by the growth rate per month to find out how many more months it will take.
Calculate Total Time: Divide the additional growth needed by the growth rate per month to find out how many more months it will take. Add the initial 7 months to the additional months needed to grow.
