PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from July to November.
- What was the height of the plant in November?
- During which period did the plant have no change in height? Give your answer in numbers. (Eg Jan to Feb = 1 to 2)
(a)
Height of the plant in July (7) = 10 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) = 19 cm
Height of the plant in September (9) = 19 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) = 24 cm
Height of the plant in November (11) =
31 cm Height of the plant in November (10) = 31 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) = 19 - 10 = 9 cm
Increase in height from August (8) to September (9) = 19 - 19 =
0 cm Increase in height from September (9) to October (10) = 24 - 19 = 5 cm
Increase in height from October (10) to November (11) = 31 - 24 = 7 cm
Period which the plant grew the least = August (8) to September (9)
Answer(s): (a) 31 cm; (b) 8 to 9
