Please help! 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.

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.
