The table shows the height of a plant in centimetres on the first day of each month from February to May. In which month did the plant's height increase the most? Give your answer in this format. (Eg Jan)
| Date |
Height (cm) |
| 1st Feb |
8.9 |
| 1st Mar |
22.2 |
| 1st Apr |
36.3 |
| 1st May |
42.1 |
Increase in plant's height in Feb
= 22.2 - 8.9
= 13.3 cm
Increase in plant's height in Mar
= 36.3 - 22.2
= 14.1 cm
Increase in plant's height in Apr
= 42.1 - 36.3
= 5.8 cm
Greatest increase in plant's height = 14.1 cm
