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 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. Both plants are growing every day. Both plants are growing every day. 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 bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.

Question

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 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. Both plants are growing every day. Both plants are growing every day. 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 bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches.

Answer 1

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.

Answer 2

Based on the tables showing the hours of homework done by Marco and Maribella for different periods of time, which statement is correct? (1 point) Responses There is not enough information to tell who spends less time doing their homework. There is not enough information to tell who spends less time doing their homework. Marco spends less time on homework per night. Marco spends less time on homework per night. Maribella spends less time on homework per night. Maribella spends less time on homework per night. Marco and Maribella spend equal time doing their homework.

Answer 3

There is not enough information to tell who spends less time doing their homework.

Answer 4

To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to compare the rates at which each plant is growing. In this case, we can calculate the rate by dividing the total growth by the number of days.

For the bean plant:
Total growth = 2 inches
Number of days = 2 days
Rate = Total growth / Number of days = 2 inches / 2 days = 1 inch per day

For the strawberry plant:
Total growth = 4 inches
Number of days = 5 days
Rate = Total growth / Number of days = 4 inches / 5 days ≈ 0.8 inches per day

Comparing the rates, we can conclude that the bean plant grows at a faster rate of 1 inch per day, while the strawberry plant grows at a slower rate of approximately 0.8 inches per day. Therefore, the first response is correct:

"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."
