Answer 2

The plant grows 3/10 centimeters per day

Explanation:

This question can be solved using a simple rule of three.

In 10 days, it grows 3 centimeters. In 1 day, it grows x centimeters. We have to find x. So

10 days - 3 centimeters

1 day - x centimeters.

`10x = 3`

`x = (3)/(10)`

The plant grows 3/10 centimeters per day
