[AI-generated answer — Bot GPT 3.5]

centimeters:

- Plant 1: 5, 8, 11, 14
- Plant 2: 3, 6, 9, 12
- Plant 3: 8, 10, 12, 14

Amy wants to calculate the average growth of each plant over the past 4 months.

To calculate the average growth for each plant, Amy will add up the growth measurements for each plant and then divide by the number of months measured (4 months).

For Plant 1:
(5 + 8 + 11 + 14) / 4 = 38 / 4 = 9.5 cm

For Plant 2:
(3 + 6 + 9 + 12) / 4 = 30 / 4 = 7.5 cm

For Plant 3:
(8 + 10 + 12 + 14) / 4 = 44 / 4 = 11 cm

Therefore, the average growth for each plant over the past 4 months is:
- Plant 1: 9.5 cm
- Plant 2: 7.5 cm
- Plant 3: 11 cm
