A bean plant grows 2 inches in 2 days. A strawberry plant grows 4 inches in 5 days. Compare the two proportional relationships. Assume each plant is growing at a constant rate.(1 point)
The strawberry plant has grown 2 inches more than the bean plant.
Both plants are growing every day.
The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
The strawberry plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
The strawberry plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
Last week, Malika’s cat slept 18 hours each day. Her baby slept 91 hours total for the week. Compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day.(1 point)
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.
The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
The strawberry plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
Is this right??
To compare the two proportional relationships, we can calculate the growth rate of each plant per day.
For the bean plant:
Since it grows 2 inches in 2 days, we can divide the total growth by the number of days to find the daily growth rate.
2 inches / 2 days = 1 inch per day.
For the strawberry plant:
Since it grows 4 inches in 5 days, we can divide the total growth by the number of days to find the daily growth rate.
4 inches / 5 days = 0.8 inches per day.
Comparing the two growth rates, we can see that the bean plant grows 1 inch per day, while the strawberry plant grows 0.8 inches per day. Therefore, the bean plant grows at a faster rate than the strawberry plant.
So, the statement "The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches" is incorrect. The correct statement is that the bean plant grows at a faster rate than the strawberry plant.
