There are 2 leaves along 3 in.of an ivy vine. There are 14 leaves along 15 in. of the same vine. How many leaves are there along 6 in. of the vine?
There is no sure answer since there is not a constant number of leaves per inch
2/3 = .67 leaves/inch
14/15 = .933 leaves /inch
so
6 * .67 = 4.02
6 *.933 = 5.6 leaves per inch
so probably more than four and less than 6
try 5
