A tree in Amanda's backyard is 4.72 meters tall. If the tree grows 0.8 meters each month, for how many months has the tree been growing

Answer 1

Let x be the number of months the tree has been growing.

The total height of the tree after x months can be represented as:
4.72 + 0.8x

Since the tree has been growing for x months, the total height should be equal to the current height of the tree:
4.72 + 0.8x = 4.72

Subtracting 4.72 from both sides:
0.8x = 0
x = 0

Therefore, the tree has been growing for 0 months.
