The fastest growing plant on record is the Hesperoyucca whipplei. Suppose a plant of this type grows 3.7 m in 14 days. What is its growth rate in micrometers per second?

Respuesta :

Answer:

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.

Given:

Growing length = 3.7 meter

Time = 14 days

To find:

Growth rate = ?

Formula used:

Growth rate = [tex] \frac{Growing  length}{ time}  [/tex]

Solution:

Growth rate = [tex] \frac{Growing  length}{ time}  [/tex]

Growing  length = 3.7 × [tex] 10^{6}   [/tex] micrometer

Time = 14 × 24 × 60 × 60

Growth rate = [tex] \frac{3700000}{1209600}  [/tex]

Growth rate = 3.05 micrometer per second

Growth rate in micrometers per second is 3.05.
