PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from April to August.
- What was the height of the plant in May?
- 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 April (4) = 24 cm
Height of the plant in May (5) =
35 cm Height of the plant in June (6) = 42 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) = 48 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) = 49 cm
Height of the plant in May (5) = 35 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) = 35 - 24 = 11 cm
Increase in height from May (5) to June (6) = 42 - 35 = 7 cm
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 48 - 42 = 6 cm
Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 49 - 48 =
1 cm Period which the plant grew the least = July (7) to August (8)
Answer(s): (a) 35 cm; (b) 7 to 8
