To compare the two proportional relationships, let's first calculate the growth rate per day for each plant.
For the bean plant, it grows 2 inches in 2 days. So, to find the growth rate per day, we divide the total growth (2 inches) by the number of days (2 days): 2 inches / 2 days = 1 inch per day.
For the strawberry plant, it grows 4 inches in 5 days. To find the growth rate per day, we divide the total growth (4 inches) by the number of days (5 days): 4 inches / 5 days = 0.8 inches per day.
Now, let's compare the growth rates:
The bean plant grows at a rate of 1 inch per day, while the strawberry plant grows at a rate of 0.8 inches per day. Therefore, the bean plant grows at a faster rate because it grows 0.2 inches per day more than the strawberry plant.
So, the correct response is: The bean plant grows at a faster rate because it grows 1 inch per day while the strawberry plant grows 0.8 inches per day.
