PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from June to October.
- What was the height of the plant in July?
- 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 June (6) = 32 cm
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) = 59 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) = 63 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) = 40 cm
(b)
To find the greatest increase, look for the steepest increase in the line graph.
To prove:
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 40 - 32 = 8 cm
Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 50 - 40 = 10 cm
Increase in height from August (8) to September (9) = 59 - 50 = 9 cm
Increase in height from September (9) to October (10) = 63 - 59 =
4 cm Period which the plant grew the least = September (9) to October (10)
Answer(s): (a) 40 cm; (b) 9 to 10
