+16 A gardener measures the height of a plant after 4 weeks to be 9.0 inches. After 6 weeks the height of the plant is 13.5 inches. In this situation, what UNITS would you use to describe the rate of change of the height of the plant?

The appropriate units are millimeters mm and hours h.
\(v=s/t\)
\(v=\frac{(13.5-9)inches}{(6-4)weeks}\)
\(v= \frac{4.5\ inches}{2\ weeks}\times\frac{25.4 \ mm}{inch}\times\frac{week}{7\times 24\ h}\)
\(\large v=0.34\frac{mm}{h}\)

+37084 Most likely you would hear something in the units of inches per week
Plant grew (13.5 - 9) inches in TWO weeks
4.5 inches/2weeks = 2.25 inches/week For the last two weeks
13.5 inches/6weeks = 2.25 inches per week (also) for the entire 6 weeks 2.25 in/wk
