The average human fingernail grows at a rate of 3.47 millimeters per month. One millimeters = 0.1 centimeters. How much in centimeter, would the average human fingernail grown in one year?

4.164 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Growth of an average human fingernail = 3.47 mm per month

One mm (millimeter) = 0.1 cm (centimeter)

To find:

Growth of an average human fingernail in one year = ?

Solution:

Here, we are given the growth for one month.

There are 12 months in an year, so growth over an year can be found by adding the growth of one month for 12 times.

Growth in one year = 3.47 mm + 3.47 mm+ ..... 12 times

Growth in one year = 12 \times 3.47 mm = 41.64 mm

In millimeters, the growth of an average human fingernail = 41.64 mm

Let us convert it into centimeters by multiplying it with 0.1.

Therefore growth in centimeters = 41.64 mm 0.1  = 4.164 cm
