PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from July to November.
- What was the height of the plant in October?
- During which period did the plant grow the least? Give your answer in numbers. (Eg Jan to Feb = 1 to 2)
(a)
Height of the plant in July (7) = 40 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) = 50 cm
Height of the plant in September (9) = 53 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) =
64 cm Height of the plant in November (11) = 72 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) = 64 cm
(b)
To find the greatest increase, look for the steepest increase in the line graph.
To prove:
Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 50 - 40 = 10 cm
Increase in height from August (8) to September (9) = 53 - 50 =
3 cm Increase in height from September (9) to October (10) = 64 - 53 = 11 cm
Increase in height from October (10) to November (11) = 72 - 64 = 8 cm
Period which the plant grew the least = August (8) to September (9)
Answer(s): (a) 64 cm; (b) 8 to 9
