Question

A plant in the front of the house grew 15 in in 4weeks.A plant in the back of the house grew 20 inches in 5weeks.Which plant grew the most each week?

Answer 1

the plant in front of the house, grew 3.75 inches each week for 4 weeks. and the plant in the back of the house, grew 4 inches each week for 5 weeks. but since the plant in the back of the house was 5 weeks and the one in the front had 4 weeks. you would calculate each plant for the same amount of weeks. so if you would have done 20/4 and 15/4 or 20/5 and 15/5, the plant in the back would have grown fatser then the one in the front.

work:

15/4=3.75

20/5=4

20/4= 5

15/5= 5
