a. represent the ratio relationship using a graph.
b. at this rate, how much do you grow in 5 months?

Explanation:

Step1: Find monthly growth rate

$\text{Monthly growth} = \frac{3}{2} = 1.5$ cm/month

Step2: Calculate growth in 5 months

$\text{Total growth} = 1.5 \times 5$

Answer:

a. (To create the graph:

• Label the x-axis "Time (months)" and y-axis "Growth (centimeters)"
• Plot the points (0, 0) and (2, 3)
• Draw a straight line through these points, extending to x=5 to show the proportional relationship)

b. 7.5 centimeters
