Answer 3

Well I think the question is saying that the plant grew 1/16in during the first week and 3/16in during the second week. Thus, in the last two weeks, the total growth is the sum of the two fractions which is 4/16

Answer 4

You can simplify that fraction to 1/4in

Answer 5

So will 1/4 be my total answer?
