PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from April to August.
- What was the height of the plant in August?
- 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 April (4) = 40 cm
Height of the plant in May (5) = 53 cm
Height of the plant in June (6) = 60 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) = 68 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) =
74 cm Height of the plant in August (8) = 74 cm
(b)
To find the greatest increase, look for the steepest increase in the line graph.
To prove:
Increase in height from April (4) to May (5) = 53 - 40 =
13 cm Increase in height from May (5) to June (6) = 60 - 53 = 7 cm
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 68 - 60 = 8 cm
Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 74 - 68 = 6 cm
Period which the plant grew the most = April (4) to May (5)
Answer(s): (a) 74 cm; (b) 4 to 5
