For the first question, the answer is 0.28 cm. This would be 2.8 mm.

Explanation:

For this question, you can use a proportion to figure out your answer. So, you know that

28 cm = 100 years

(28 cmx)=(100 yr1 yr)

Here x is the cm grown.

So, to solve this, you can cross multiply which would end up with,

28 cm×1 yr=100 yr×x

Divide by 100 yr and you will end up with

28 cm100=0.28 cm

To convert this to millimeters, you multiply the 0.28 cm by 10. This is the conversion of centimeters to millimeters. So the answer would be 2.8 mm.

Hope this helped.
