Question

Class A was given a sunflower with a height of 8 centimeters that grows at a rate of 3 1/2 centimeters per week. Class B was given a sunflower with a height of 10 centimeters that grows at a rate of 3 1/4 centimeters per week. After how many weeks are the sunflowers the same height?

Answer 1

Answer:

8 weeks

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we know that the sunflower in Class B has a rate of 1/4 less, we know that it will eventually catch on to sunflower A.

First, we have to look at the difference which is 2. How many 1/4ths makes 2?

8.

Therefore, 8 weeks would be your answer.
