Q. A baby giraffe was born at a wildlife preserve. The giraffe was 66 feet tall when it was born, and it grew 1.751.75 feet over the next 77 months. If the giraffe continues to grow at the same rate, at what age will it reach a height of 1515 feet?\newline____ months\newline
  1. Calculate Total Height: question_prompt: At what age in months will the baby giraffe reach a height of 1515 feet if it continues to grow at the same rate it did in the first 77 months?
  2. Calculate Monthly Growth Rate: The giraffe started at 66 feet tall and grew 1.751.75 feet in 77 months. Calculate the total height after 77 months.
  3. Calculate Additional Growth: To find out how much the giraffe grows each month, divide the growth over 77 months by 77.
  4. Calculate Remaining Months: The giraffe needs to grow from 7.757.75 feet to 1515 feet. Calculate the additional growth needed.
  5. Calculate Total Time: Divide the additional growth needed by the growth rate per month to find out how many more months it will take.
  6. Calculate Total Time: Divide the additional growth needed by the growth rate per month to find out how many more months it will take. Add the initial 77 months to the additional months needed to grow.
