Answer:

[tex]1\frac{5}{21}\text{ inches}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Growing of pedro in [tex]3\frac{1}{2}[/tex] months =  [tex]4\frac{1}{3}[/tex] inches

[tex]\because 3\frac{1}{2}=\frac{7}{2}[/tex]

And,

[tex]4\frac{1}{3}=\frac{13}{3}[/tex]

So, the Growing of pedro in [tex]\frac{7}{2}[/tex] months =  [tex]\frac{13}{3}[/tex] inches,

Thus, the growing of pedro in 1 months =  [tex]\frac{13}{3}\times \frac{2}{7}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{26}{21}[/tex]

[tex]=1\frac{5}{21}\text{ inches}[/tex]
