In Lixue’s garden, the green pepper plants grew 5 inches in  34
  month. At this rate, how many feet can they grow in one month? (Let 5 inches =  512
  feet)

To determine how many feet the green pepper plants can grow in one month, we need to break the problem down step by step.

### Given:
- The green pepper plants grew **5 inches in 34 months**.
- **5 inches = \( \frac{5}{12} \) feet** (as stated).
  
#### Step 1: Calculate the growth rate per month
To find the growth per month, divide the total growth in feet by the number of months:

\[
\text{Growth per month} = \frac{\frac{5}{12} \text{ feet}}{34 \text{ months}}
\]

Simplifying this expression:

\[
\text{Growth per month} = \frac{5}{12 \times 34} = \frac{5}{408} \text{ feet per month}
\]

#### Step 2: Simplify the result
The result is \( \frac{5}{408} \) feet per month, which is the rate at which the plants grow in one month.

This fraction can be simplified as:

\[
\frac{5}{408} \approx 0.01225 \text{ feet per month}
\]

Thus, the green pepper plants grow approximately **0.01225 feet per month**.
