PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from March to July.
- What was the height of the plant in July?
- 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 March (3) = 12 cm
Height of the plant in April (4) = 21 cm
Height of the plant in May (5) = 21 cm
Height of the plant in June (6) = 26 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) =
34 cm Height of the plant in July (6) = 34 cm
(b)
To find the greatest increase, look for the steepest increase in the line graph.
To prove:
Increase in height from March (3) to April (4) = 21 - 12 = 9 cm
Increase in height from April (4) to May (5) = 21 - 21 =
0 cm Increase in height from May (5) to June (6) = 26 - 21 = 5 cm
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 34 - 26 = 8 cm
Period which the plant grew the least = April (4) to May (5)
Answer(s): (a) 34 cm; (b) 4 to 5
