A sunflower seed

-

A sunflower seed takes a week to germinate after it has been sown in the ground. After germination it grows the same number centimetres each day. Maya sows a sunflower seed. She measures the height of the plant at midday on the 16th August and again at midday on the 21st August. These two measurements are recorded as 48 cm and 68 cm respectively.


On what date did Maya sow the seed in the ground?

    If, in five days, it grows 20 cm, then it will grow 4cm per day. Using this, we can tell that by August 16th, it had grown for 12 days

    This means that the sunflower started growing on the 4th of August
