We were given the following details:
Length of rose (l) = 5 feet
Duration (t) = 1 year
To calculate how fast the rose grows per day, we will follow the steps enumerated below:
I. Convert the length from feet to inches, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} 1ft=12in \\ 5ft=x \\ x\cdot1=5\cdot12 \\ x=60 \\ \\ \therefore5ft=60in \end{gathered}[/tex]II. Convert the duration from year to days, we have:
[tex]1year=365days[/tex]III. Calculate the growth rate by finding the quotient of length & duration, we have:
[tex]\begin{gathered} r=\frac{60in}{365days} \\ r=0.1644\approx0.16 \\ r=0.16in\text{/}days \\ \\ \therefore r=0.16in\text{/}days \end{gathered}[/tex]Therefore, the rose grows at a speed of 0.16 inches per day
