I have a table with this info. plant growth: Week 1 - 1 inch, week2 -4 inches,
week 3 - 6 inches, week 4 - 11 inches, week 5 - 14 inches Question is: would you expect the plants height to be 10 inches, 16 inches, or 30 inches at week 6? Explain your reasoning.
Thanks, Gracee
which pat bought a sub sandwich that was 36 centimiters long. she cut 4-centimer slices . what was the length of the sandwich left after pat cut off 5 slices
To determine the expected height of the plant at week 6, we can analyze the given information about plant growth rate over the weeks.
By examining the table, we can observe that the plant's growth rate is increasing steadily. In week 1, the growth is 1 inch, which jumps to 4 inches in week 2, and then to 6 inches in week 3. The growth rate accelerates further, as it increases by 5 inches in week 4 and by 3 inches in week 5.
To predict the height at week 6, we need to identify the pattern of this growth. On average, the plant has been growing an additional 3 inches each week, so we can assume a similar growth pattern for week 6.
To calculate the expected height, we add the average growth rate per week (3 inches) to the previous week's height (14 inches in week 5):
14 inches + 3 inches = 17 inches
Therefore, we would expect the plant's height to be approximately 17 inches at week 6.
Based on this reasoning, the expected height of the plant at week 6 is not provided as an option.
