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)
Responses
The strawberry plant has grown 2 inches more than the bean plant.
The strawberry plant has grown 2 inches more than the bean plant.
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.
The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
Both plants are growing every day.
Both plants are growing every 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)
Responses
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
The cat slept fewer hours per day than the baby.
The cat and the baby slept the same amount of hours total for the week.
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.
Both the cat and the baby spend less than half the hours of the day sleeping.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
The baby slept fewer hours per day than the cat.
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.
To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to calculate the rate of growth for each plant.
For the bean plant, it grows 2 inches in 2 days. To find the rate per day, we divide the total growth (2 inches) by the number of days (2): 2 inches / 2 days = 1 inch per day.
For the strawberry plant, it grows 4 inches in 5 days. Again, we divide the total growth (4 inches) by the number of days (5): 4 inches / 5 days = 0.8 inches per day.
Now, we can compare the rates of growth. The bean plant grows at a rate of 1 inch per day, while the strawberry plant grows at a rate of 0.8 inches per day.
Therefore, the correct response would be: "The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches."
