Solution

The height of the tree increased by 12% from 2022 to 2023. This means that the height of the tree in 2023 is 100% of the 2022 height (which is the original height) plus an additional 12%.

In terms of a decimal, 100% is equivalent to 1 and 12% is equivalent to 0.12.

Therefore, the 2023 height is 1 (the original height) plus 0.12 (the increase), which equals 1.12.

So, the 2023 height is 1.12 times the 2022 height. Therefore, the value of b is 1.12.
