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.

Answer 1

To compare the two proportional relationships, we can calculate the rate of growth for each plant.

For the bean plant, it grows 2 inches in 2 days. This means it grows at a rate of 2 inches/2 days = 1 inch/day.

For the strawberry plant, it grows 4 inches in 5 days. This means it grows at a rate of 4 inches/5 days = 0.8 inches/day.

Comparing the two rates, we can see that the bean plant grows faster than the strawberry plant.
