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)

Answer 1

To compare the two proportional relationships, we can calculate their rates of growth.

For the bean plant:
- Its growth rate is 2 inches in 2 days.
- Dividing the growth by the number of days, we get a rate of 1 inch per day.

For the strawberry plant:
- Its growth rate is 4 inches in 5 days.
- Dividing the growth by the number of days, we get a rate of 0.8 inches per day.

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

Answer 2

AThe strawberry plant has grown 2 inches more than the bean plant.

BThe strawberry plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 0.8 inches per day while the bean plant grows 1 inch per day.

C Both plants are growing every day.

DThe bean plant grows at a slower rate because it grows 2 inches while the strawberry plant grows 4 inches

Answer 3

None of the options provided accurately compare the two proportional relationships.

The correct comparison would be:

B) 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.

This option correctly states that the strawberry plant has a slower growth rate compared to the bean plant.
