(d) Bamboo can grow up to 60.0 cm/day. Convert this growth rate into inches per hour.

Guida verificata passo dopo passo
1
Identify the conversion factors needed: 1 inch = 2.54 cm and 1 day = 24 hours.
Start with the given growth rate: 60.0 cm/day.
Convert centimeters to inches using the conversion factor: \( \frac{1 \text{ inch}}{2.54 \text{ cm}} \).
Convert days to hours using the conversion factor: \( \frac{1 \text{ day}}{24 \text{ hours}} \).
Combine the conversions to find the growth rate in inches per hour: \( 60.0 \text{ cm/day} \times \frac{1 \text{ inch}}{2.54 \text{ cm}} \times \frac{1 \text{ day}}{24 \text{ hours}} \).
