The table shows the height of a plant in centimetres on the first day of each month from June to September. In which month did the plant's height increase the most? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Jan)
Date |
Height (cm) |
1st Jun |
6.2 |
1st Jul |
16.8 |
1st Aug |
29.6 |
1st Sep |
43.3 |
Increase in plant's height in Jun
= 16.8 - 6.2
= 10.6 cm
Increase in plant's height in Jul
= 29.6 - 16.8
= 12.8 cm
Increase in plant's height in Aug
= 43.3 - 29.6
= 13.7 cm
Greatest increase in plant's height = 13.7 cm
The month that the plant's height increased the most = Aug
