Question

A study looked at the effects various fertilizers had on corn

growth. During the study, one corn plant grew 180 mm in
6 days. How much did the plant grow per day?​

Answer 1

30mm

Explanation:

The question "How much did the plant grow per day?​" is asking for the rate of the corn growth for one day, in the format height/day.

The rate given is over 6 days rather than 1 day:

180 mm in 6 days

The find the rate for one day, divide the height by the days.

180mm/6days = 30mm/1day

Therefore the plant grew 30mm per day.
