Sally has been measuring the tree in her yard for a science project. The tree has grown 1/2 of an inch each month and gotten a total of 2 inches taller.
How many months has Sally been measuring this tree.
Answer provided by our tutors
let 'x' represent the number of months that Sally has been measuring the tree
(1/2)x = 2 multiply both sides by 2
x = 2*2
x = 4 months
Sally has been measuring the tree for 4 months.
