Question

If a pine tree grows 3 inches per year,how long will it take for the tree to reach a height of 8 feet

Answer 1

Answer:

32 years

Step-by-step explanation:

8x12 because there are 12 inches in a foot

8x12=96

96/3

96/3=32

Answer 2

Answer:

32 years

Step-by-step explanation:

y = years

1 foot  = 12 inches

12 × 8 = 96

Now, plug in random numbers into the expression below to find how long it takes for the tree to grow 8 feet.

3y

3 × 10 = 30

3 × 20 = 60

3 × 30 = 90

3 × 31 = 93

3 × 32 = 96

It will take the pine tree 32 years to grow 8 feet, or 96 inches.
