If hair grows at a rate of approximately 0.44 mm per day, how manydays has a hair been growing if it measures 40 mm from follicle to tip?
Accepted Solution
A:
Answer:It would take 90.9 daysStep-by-step explanation:The sample of the hair considered grows at 0.44mm per day, thus; 0.44mm = 1 day 40 mm = x daysSo that, by appropriate deductions, 0.44 × x = 40 × 1 0.44x = 40Divide both side by 0.44 to determine the value of x; x = [tex]\frac{40}{0.44}[/tex] x = 90.9090909091Therfer, it would take up to 90.9 days for the hair to measure 40mm from its follicle to tip.
