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)
A. The strawbeny plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
B. The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
C. The strawberry plant has grown 2 Inches more than the bean plant.
D. Both plants are growing every day.
A. The strawbeny plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
The correct answer is A. The strawbeny plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day. This can be determined by calculating the growth rate per day for each plant. The bean plant grows at a rate of 2 inches in 2 days, which is equivalent to 1 inch per day. Meanwhile, the strawberry plant grows 4 inches in 5 days, which is equivalent to 0.8 inches per day. Therefore, the bean plant grows at a faster rate than the strawberry plant.
To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to calculate the rate at which each plant grows per day.
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 days): 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 days): 4 inches / 5 days = 0.8 inches per day.
Now we can compare the rates of growth.
A. The strawbeny plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.
This is correct. The strawberry plant grows at a slower rate compared to the bean plant.
B. The bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.
This is incorrect. We need to compare the rates, not the total growth.
C. The strawberry plant has grown 2 Inches more than the bean plant.
This is incorrect. The question asks us to compare the rates, not the total growth.
D. Both plants are growing every day.
This is also correct. Both plants are growing, but we need to compare the rates at which they grow to determine which one grows faster.
Thus, the correct answer is A. 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.
