Grace has been measuring a plant in her yard. The plant has grown 1 4 of an inch each month and gotten a total of 2 inches taller. How many months has Grace been measuring this plant?

8 months

Step-by-step explanation:

Each month it grows 1/4 of an inch, or if x represents months, we could say:

1/4x

We know that it got a total of 2 inches taller, so we can set the expression above equal to 2

1/4x=2

To solve for x, we need to get x by itself. Divide both sides by 1/4, or multiply both sides by the reciprocal of 1/4.

The reciprocal is  the numerator and the denominator switched, 1/4-->4/1

4/1*1/4x=2*4/1

x=8

So, she was measuring for 8 months

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.

the given 6 = w/p is equivalent to 6p = w, where w is the total area of the walls and p is the area covered by a single can of paint.

knowing that 6 cans of paint will be needed, 6p = w becomes 6(6) = w = 36.   this tells us that the total area to be painted is 36 square units.
