To determine the rate of growth of the kudzu vine, we can divide the total growth (720 inches) by the number of days (60 days).
Rate = Total Growth / Number of Days
Rate = 720 inches / 60 days
Rate = 12 inches per day
Therefore, the equivalent rate to the vine's growth is 12 inches per day.
The correct answer is B) 12 inches per day.
To determine the equivalent rate of the vine's growth, we need to find the number of inches it grows per day.
To do this, we divide the total growth (720 inches) by the number of days (60 days).
So, the calculation would be:
720 inches / 60 days = 12 inches per day.
Therefore, the equivalent rate of the vine's growth is 12 inches per day.
Option B, "12 inches per day," is the correct answer.
20 inches per day
A. 16 inches per day
