PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from April to August.
- What was the height of the plant in June?
- 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) = 27 cm
Height of the plant in May (5) = 36 cm
Height of the plant in June (6) =
46 cm Height of the plant in July (7) = 58 cm
Height of the plant in August (8) = 62 cm
Height of the plant in June (6) = 46 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) = 36 - 27 = 9 cm
Increase in height from May (5) to June (6) = 46 - 36 = 10 cm
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 58 - 46 =
12 cm Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 62 - 58 = 4 cm
Period which the plant grew the most = June (6) to July (7)
Answer(s): (a) 46 cm; (b) 6 to 7
