Avine called a mile a minute weed is known for growing at a very fast rate. it can grow up to 0.25 mg per hour. how fast in feet per day can the mile-a-minute weed grow up to? show your work using the correct conversion factors

Since the segment is completely horizontal we need not to use formula for computing the length of a segment in 2D euclidean space.

Instead we can simplify the problem to a single dimension, only considering the x-coordinates of the endpoints of the segment.

The x-coordinates are -5 and 3.

Subtracting and applying absolute value yields the answer,

.

Hope this helps.
