options: Recognize and represent proportional relationships between quantities.

Use proportional relationships to solve multistep ratio and percent problems. Examples: simple interest, tax, markups and markdowns, gratuities and commissions, fees, percent increase and decrease, percent error.

Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour, equivalently 2 miles per hour.

a.   Explain what point B represents in context of the situation.
b.   At what rate is the plant growing? Indicate this as a point on the graph.
c.   Write an equation that represents the relationship between days and height.
d.   If the plant continues to grow at this rate, how tall will it be after 12 days?
e.   If the plant continues to grow at this rate, when will it be 6 cm tall?
