Answer:

12 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Step one:

given data

let the heights of the plants be y

and the number of weeks be x

Plant A

y=3x+8.5--------------1

Plant B

y=2.5x+14.5----------2

Required

The number of weeks taken for both plants to have the same height

,equate the two expressions above

3x+8.5=2.5x+14.5

3x-2.5x=14.5-8.5

0.5x= 6

divide both sides by 0.5

x= 6/0.5

x= 12 weeks

Multiple choice!! There's only one correct answer.
GalinKa [24]

The solution is where the red line crosses the blue line, which on the X axis is between the 1 and the 2, so about 1.5.

Convert the fractions to decimal and see which one is  close to 1.5:

13/8 = 1.625

25/16 = 1.5625

7/4 = 1.75

27/16 = 1.6875

The closest one to 1.5 is 25/16

Over the summer, for every 14 Okra seeds Dana planted, 9 plants grew. If he planted 182 seeds, how many grew into plants?
vova2212 [387]
Simple...

you have: For every 14 seeds that Okra seeds Dana planted 9 of them grew; if he planted 182 seeds..how many grew?

Set up an equation...

\frac{9}{14} = \frac{x}{182}

Cross multiply....

14*x=14x

9*182=1638

14x=1638

\frac{14x}{14} = \frac{1638}{14} =117


x=117

This means that, for 182 seeds planted, 117 of them grew to be plants.

Thus, your answer.
