Answer:
5.51 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
an 8% increase in height represents 100% + 8% = 108%
108% = [tex]\frac{108}{100}[/tex] = 1.08
multiply her height by 1.08 to find her height 1 year later
5.1 × 1.08 = 5.508 ≈ 5.1 feet
Answer:
5.51 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
The problem wants you to find 8% of 5.1 and then add this to 5.1. To do this multiply 5.1 by 0.08.
5.1 * 0.08 = 0.408
Add this to 5.1.
5.1 + 0.408 = 5.508
Rounded to the nearest hundredth (as it looks like all the answer choices are), it would be 5.51.
