Question

Suzanne’s at 2 inches per week
Suzanne’s at 1.5 inches per week
Megan’s at 3 inches per week
Megan’s at 2.5 inches per week

Answer 1

Do you want these compared or averaged, or something else? I can compute totals, averages, percent differences, time to reach a target, etc.

Quick useful results:
- Suzanne’s average rate = (2 + 1.5) / 2 = 1.75 inches/week
- Megan’s average rate = (3 + 2.5) / 2 = 2.75 inches/week
- Absolute difference = 2.75 − 1.75 = 1.0 in/week (Megan is 1 in/week faster)
- Percent faster = 1.0 / 1.75 ≈ 57.1% faster

Tell me which calculation you want next (total growth over some number of weeks, time to reach X inches, graphing, etc.).
