Answer :

Answer:

x = 1 month 3 days

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Per month growth of Rusty's hair = 2/4

We need to find in how many months will it take Rusty's hair to grow 7/8 inch.

1 month = 2/4

In x months = 7/8 inches

Let it grow 7/8 inch in x months.

[tex]\dfrac{\dfrac{2}{4}}{\dfrac{7}{8}}=\dfrac{1}x\\\\\dfrac{1}{x}=\dfrac{2}{4}\times \dfrac{8}{7}\\\\x=\dfrac{7}{4}\ \text{months}\\\\x=1\ \text{month}\ 3\ \text{days}[/tex]

So, it will take 1 month 3 days to grow 7/8 inches.
