Question

The graph shows how much a plant grew after it was purchased. Which statement is not correct?

Every 10 days, the plant grows 1 centimeter.


The plant grows 1 centimeter every day.



The plant grows 0.5 centimeter every 5 days.


The plant grows 0.1 centimeter every day.

Answer 1

The plant grows 1 cm every day is the incorrect statement

Explanation:

The graph shows that for every 10 days the plant grows 1 cm

10/2 = 5

so in 5 days the plant would grow half of what it does in 10 days so 1/2 or 0.5 cm

10/10 = 1

so in 1 day the plant would grow a tenth of what it does in 10 days so 1/10 or 0.1 cm
