The table shows the height of a plant in centimetres on the first day of each month from August to November. In which month did the plant's height increase the most? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Jan)
Date |
Height (cm) |
1st Aug |
7.3 |
1st Sep |
22 |
1st Oct |
31.1 |
1st Nov |
45.9 |
Increase in plant's height in Aug
= 22 - 7.3
= 14.7 cm
Increase in plant's height in Sep
= 31.1 - 22
= 9.1 cm
Increase in plant's height in Oct
= 45.9 - 31.1
= 14.8 cm
Greatest increase in plant's height = 14.8 cm
The month that the plant's height increased the most = Oct
