PSLE The graph shows the height of a plant from June to October.
- What was the height of the plant in July?
- 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 June (6) = 12 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) =
22 cm Height of the plant in August (8) = 30 cm
Height of the plant in September (9) = 40 cm
Height of the plant in October (10) = 44 cm
Height of the plant in July (7) = 22 cm
(b)
To find the greatest increase, look for the steepest increase in the line graph.
To prove:
Increase in height from June (6) to July (7) = 22 - 12 = 10 cm
Increase in height from July (7) to August (8) = 30 - 22 = 8 cm
Increase in height from August (8) to September (9) = 40 - 30 = 10 cm
Increase in height from September (9) to October (10) = 44 - 40 =
4 cm Period which the plant grew the least = September (9) to October (10)
Answer(s): (a) 22 cm; (b) 9 to 10
