Total = 10 × (G + 1.375) = 10G + 13.75.

- Better: expect problem assumes constant baseline rate with daily increase.
- Assume initial daily growth = G mm/day at 8°C. Final = G + (5.5 × 0.5) = G + 2.75.
- Average daily growth = (G + G + 2.75)/2 = G + 1.375.
- But G unknown.
- Re-read: "growth rate increases by 0.5 mm/day per 1°C", so sensitivity is given, but baseline not specified.
- Likely intended: the temperature rise causes a cumulative increase in daily growth. Assume at 8°C, growth is G, but since not given, assume the increase applies to daily rate and we integrate.
