Question

Dahlia noticed that her tomato plant grew new leaves at a steady rate, after the plant sprouted. She recorded the number of leaves on her plant on various days (see table) how many leaves should she expect on the 32nd day

Answer 1

Answer:

D; 85 leaves

Step-by-step explanation:

From what we can see, each 4 days there is a growth of an additional 9 leaves

So for the 20th day, we can see 58

The difference between the 20th and 32nd day is 12

The number of 4s we can see here is 12/4 = 3

For each 4, we can count extra 9 leaves

So for the 12, the number of leaves we can count is 3 * 9 = 27

we proceed to add this to 58

That will yield 58 + 27 = 85
