allison and her classmates planted bean seeds at the same time as yuki and her classmates in tokyo did. allison is video - chatting with yuki about their class seedlings. who should expect to have the taller plant at the end of the school year?

Explanation:

Step1: Convert Allison's growth rate to cm/day

Allison's plant grew 2.5 inches in 5 days. 1 inch = 2.54 cm, so 2.5 inches = 2.5×2.54 = 6.35 cm. Growth - rate per day is $\frac{6.35}{5}=1.27$ cm/day.

Step2: Calculate Yuki's growth rate

Yuki's plant grew 5.5 cm in 4 days. Growth - rate per day is $\frac{5.5}{4}=1.375$ cm/day.

Step3: Compare the growth rates

Since 1.375>1.27, Yuki's plant has a higher growth rate.

Answer:

Yuki should expect to have the taller plant at the end of the school year.
