PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from June to October.
- What was the height of the plant in October?
- During which period did the plant grow the most? 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) = 43 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) = 48 cm
Height of the plant in September (9) = 54 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) =
62 cm Height of the plant in October (10) = 62 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) = 43 - 32 =
11 cm Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 48 - 43 = 5 cm
Increase in height from August (8) to September (9) = 54 - 48 = 6 cm
Increase in height from September (9) to October (10) = 62 - 54 = 8 cm
Period which the plant grew the most = June (6) to July (7)
Answer(s): (a) 62 cm; (b) 6 to 7
