Answer:
[tex]\frac{20}{27}[/tex] feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We can simply set up a ratio to solve this problem.
Since plant grew 5/9 foot in 3/4 month, how many feet (let it be x) can it grow in 1 month??
We can set up the ratio shown below, cross multiply and solve for x:
[tex]\frac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{3}{4}}=\frac{x}{1}\\\frac{5}{9}*1=\frac{3}{4}*x\\\frac{5}{9}=\frac{3}{4}x\\x=\frac{\frac{5}{9}}{\frac{3}{4}}\\x=\frac{5}{9}*\frac{4}{3}\\x=\frac{20}{27}[/tex]
Hence, we can say the pepper plant will grow 20/27 feet in 1 month.
