Answer:
It will take the plant days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
Explanation:
From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.
To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.
This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches - 40 inches) at this rate.
Now,
If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day
then it will grow 160 inches in x days
x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches
x = 160 / 36
x = days or 4.44 days
Hence, it will take the plant days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
