We received many correct answers to this problem - thank you! Most of you had done it a similar way, by drawing a table.

Joanne and Liam from Moorfield Junior School explained their approach very clearly:

We each worked on a different plant and each time we worked out the height for that day we checked to see if we had the same answer until we did. This is what it looked like.......

Tomato plant Bean plant
1cm 38cm
3cm 43cm
7cm 48cm
15cm 53cm
31cm 58cm
63cm 63cm

The answer is six days and the plant would be 63cm tall
