Plant A is 18 inches tall after one week,36 inches tall after two weeks ,56 inches tall after three weeks. plant B is 18 inches tall after one week , 36 inches tall after two weeks, 54 inches tall after three weeks. Which situation represents a proportional relationship between the plants height and number of weeks?

Verified Answer :

There are 2 given
situations:

Plant A and Plant B growing in 3 weeks. Find which plant grows
proportional

Plant A

=> 1st week = 18 inches

=> 2nd week = 36 inches

=> 3rd week = 56 inches

=> 18 + 18 = 36 + 20 = 56

Thus, this is not proportional

Plant B

=> 1st week = 18 inches

=> 2nd week = 36 inches

=> 3rd week  = 54
inches

=> 18 + 18 = 36 + 18 = 54 inches

thus, the growth of this plant is proportional
