A sapling that started out 13.63 inches tall grew 2.41 inches per year. How tall was the sapling when it was 14 years old?

47.37 Inches

Step-by-step explanation:

We start by assuming that we're at zero years when the tree is at 13.63 inches. We then ignore that height, and look at the rate of growth, which is 2.41 in / year.

The question asks how tall the tree is when it's 14 years old, so we multiply 2.41 inches / year by 14 years to get 33.74 inches.

The final step is to add that 33.74 onto the original 13.63 to get a new total of 47.37 inches when the sapling is 14 years old.
