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
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.
Both plants are growing every day.
The correct answer is: Both plants are growing every day.
Are you sure
I apologize for the confusion. The correct answer is:
The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.

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.
To compare the proportional relationship of the number of hours the cat and baby sleep each day, we need to find the average number of hours each of them slept per day.
The cat slept for 18 hours each day for a week, so the average number of hours per day is 18 hours / 7 days = 2.57 hours per day (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
The baby slept for 91 hours total for the week, so the average number of hours per day is 91 hours / 7 days = 13 hours per day.
Based on this information, we can conclude that the baby slept more hours per day than the cat. Therefore, the correct answer is:
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.

To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to look at the rate of growth for each plant.
For the bean plant, it grows 2 inches in 2 days. To find the growth rate per day, we divide the total growth (2 inches) by the number of days (2 days). Therefore, the bean plant grows at a rate of 1 inch per day (2 inches / 2 days).
For the strawberry plant, it grows 4 inches in 5 days. To find the growth rate per day, we divide the total growth (4 inches) by the number of days (5 days). Therefore, the strawberry plant grows at a rate of 0.8 inches per day (4 inches / 5 days).
Comparing the two growth rates, we can see that the bean plant grows at a faster rate than the strawberry plant. The bean plant grows 1 inch per day, while the strawberry plant grows 0.8 inches per day. Therefore, 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 comparison is that the bean plant grows at a faster rate, while the strawberry plant grows at a slower rate.
