    Answer:

    It will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.

    Explanation:

    From the question, the rate at which the species of the bamboo tree grows is 36 inches per day.

    To determine how long it would take a plant 40 inches tall initially to grow at this rate (that is, 36 inches per day) to a height of 200 inches.

    This means we will calculate the number of days it will take the plant to grow additional 160 inches ( 200 inches – 40 inches) at this rate.

    Now,

    If the plant grows 36 inches in 1 day

    then it will grow 160 inches in x days

    x = (160 inches × 1 day) / 36 inches

    x = 160 / 36

    x = 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days

    Hence, it will take the plant 4\frac{4}{9} days or 4.44 days to grow to a height of 200 inches tall.
