Question

Patricia has two plants in her garden. Plant A grows 2 inches per month, and Plant B grows 1.8 meters in a year.

[1 meter = 39.37 inches]

Part A: Which plant grows faster? Justify your answer by comparing the rate at which the plants grow after converting to the same units. (5 points)

Part B: If the original height of the plant was 2 inches and you checked on its height every 15 days, describe appropriate scales on the x-axis and y-axis to graph the rate at which the slower growing plant increases in height. Assume that the height of the plant increases linearly. (5 points)

Answer 1

@TSwizzle

Answer 2

multiply 39.37 by 1.8

Answer 3

70.866

Answer 4

yep now divide that by 12

Answer 5

5.9055

Answer 6

so which one grows faster?

Answer 7

If plant B grows 5.9055 per month and Plant A grows 2 inches per month which one grows the fastest?

Answer 8

b

Answer 9

Yep c:

Answer 15

cmon you got this lol

Answer 16

Lol... Okay so I'm not quite sure about that question, but I know how to graph it. So, say the dates are on the x axis, and the height was on the y axis...

Answer 17

You would start at (0, 2) right?

Answer 18

Now 15 days is half a month, and the plant grows 2 in per month, so how much would it grow in 15 days?

Answer 19

1

Answer 20

Right. So if you did 1 unit on the graph = 15 days, you'd have (1, 3) (2, 4) etc....

Answer 21

Soooo... That's as far as I can help lol

Answer 22
