We can assume that this growth rate can be expressed as y = mx + b as long as the slope is constant, because a quadratic or exponential formula wouldn't make much sense in this situation. If it is growing at least 2 inches a month, the slope (m) will be 2. As x (month) increases by 1 month, y (plant's height) increases by 2 inches. You could make it more, but as long as you plot the points in such a way that the slope for these points are 2 or higher, you will get the answer correct. If you have any other questions or need to clarify more about what you wanted let me know and I'll help.
Can you put more context?

Convert them to comparable thingummys
convert to fraction
percent means parts out of 100
30%=30/100=3/10
3/10 vvs 1/3
make bottom number 30
3/10 times 3/3=9/30
1/3 times 10/10=10/30
10/30>9/30
1/3 is bigger
