Question

Each year a growing tree adds a new ring to its cross section. Some years the ring is thicker than others. Why do you suppose this happens? Suppose the average thickness of growth rings in the Flintstones National Forest is $0.5 \mathrm{cm} .$ About how old is "Old Fred," a famous tree in the forest, if its circumference measures $766 \mathrm{cm} ?$ (IMAGE CAN'T COPY)
