Q. With some species of bamboo, you can actually see them grow. You could observe 30 centimeters of growth in just 1/3 of a day. At what rate does this bamboo grow?Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.___ centimeters per day
Identify Given Values: Step 1: Identify the given values and what needs to be calculated.We know the bamboo grows 30 centimeters in 31 of a day. We need to find the growth rate in centimeters per day.
Set Up Formula: Step 2: Set up the formula to calculate the growth rate.Growth Rate = Total Growth ÷ TimeHere, Growth Rate = 30cm÷(31)day
Perform Division: Step 3: Perform the division to find the growth rate. 30÷(1/3)=30×(3/1)=90 cm per day.
