To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to calculate the rate at which each plant grows per day.
For the bean plant:
In 2 days, it grows 2 inches. So, the rate per day is 2 inches / 2 days = 1 inch/day.
For the strawberry plant:
In 5 days, it grows 4 inches. So, the rate per day is 4 inches / 5 days = 0.8 inches/day.
Now, let's analyze the options:
1. Both plants are growing every day.
This statement is true. Both plants are growing continuously.
2. The strawberry plant has grown 2 inches more than the bean plant.
This statement is false. The difference in growth between the two plants is not 2 inches, but rather 4 - 2 = 2 inches.
3. 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.
This statement is true. The rate of growth of the strawberry plant is lower than the rate of growth of the bean plant. The strawberry plant grows at 0.8 inches per day, while the bean plant grows at 1 inch per day.
4. The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
This statement is false. The growth measurements alone cannot determine the rate of growth. We need to consider how long it took for each plant to reach those measurements. The rate calculation above shows that the strawberry plant has a slower growth rate.
Therefore, the correct response is:
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.
