The height of a particular tree is increasing at the rate of 10 cm per month. What would be the height of the tree after 5 years, if its present height is 10 m
12x5=60
10x60=600m
An didn't account for the different units of measurement. The second step should be addition, not multiplication
60 * 10 = 600 cm = 6 meters
10 + 6 = 16 meters
10 cm is 0.10 meter
10 + 0.10 meter/month * 60 months
10 + 6 = 16 meters
an - please ! a 600 meter tree?

To find the height of the tree after 5 years, we need to calculate the total increase in height over that period of time.
Given:
Rate of increase: 10 cm per month
Present height: 10 m
First, we need to convert the height to centimeters to have consistent units:
10 m = 1000 cm (as 1 meter = 100 centimeters)
Next, we calculate the increase in height per year:
10 cm per month * 12 months = 120 cm per year
Now, let's calculate the total increase in height over 5 years:
Total increase in height = 120 cm per year * 5 years = 600 cm
Finally, to find the height of the tree after 5 years, we add the total increase to the present height:
Height after 5 years = Present height + Total increase = 1000 cm + 600 cm = 1600 cm
Converting the height back to meters:
Height after 5 years = 1600 cm = 16 m
Therefore, the height of the tree after 5 years would be 16 meters.
