To compare the two proportional relationships, we need to determine the rate of growth for each plant.
For the bean plant, it grows 2 inches in 2 days. This means its growth rate is 2 inches per 2 days, or 1 inch per day.
For the strawberry plant, it grows 4 inches in 5 days. This means its growth rate is 4 inches per 5 days, or 0.8 inches per day.
Comparing the two growth rates, we can see that the bean plant grows faster than the strawberry plant, as its growth rate is 1 inch per day compared to 0.8 inches per day for the strawberry plant.
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
