35 inches tall

Step-by-step explanation:

At the beginning of spring, Jeremiah planted a small sunflower in his backyard. When it was first planted, the sunflower was 15 inches tall. The sunflower then began to grow at a rate of 2 inches per week.

If the rate:

1 week = 2 inches

10 weeks = x inches

x = 10 × 2/1

x = 20 inches

How tall would the sunflower be after 10 weeks?

The initial height = 15 Inches

The height after 10 weeks =

15 inches + 20 inches

= 35 inches
