Answer:

the california fan palm

Explanation:

you have to know which tree grew faster so you have to know how many inches they grow per year so you have to...

divide 51 by 3 and the answer is 17 inches per year

and divide 48 by 4 and the answer is 12 inches per year

so 17 is greater than 12

Answer:

Queen palm tree grew faster than the California fan palm tree

Explanation:

One California fan palm tree grows 51 inches in 3 years

Rate = 51/3 = 17 inches/year

A queen palm tree grows 48 inches in 4 years

Rate = 48/4 = 12inches/year

Clearly the Queen palm tree grew faster than the California fan palm tree as Queen palm tree grows 12inches/year than California Fan palm tree 17 inches/year .
