16 In a science experiment, two groups of seeds are planted. In group A, 175 seeds are planted and 156 start to grow. In group B, 220 seeds are planted and 189 start to grow. Use a calculator to work out which group is better at growing.

To determine which group is better at growing, we need to calculate the germination rates for both groups. For group A, you divide the number of seeds that started to grow (156) by the total number of seeds planted (175), which gives you approximately 0.894 or 89.4%. For group B, divide the number of seeds that started to grow (189) by the total number of seeds planted (220), giving you around 0.859 or 85.9%. So, group A has a higher germination rate of 89.4%, making it the better group for growing seeds! 🌱 Remember, factors like soil quality, water, and light can all influence seed growth rates, so experimenting in different conditions can lead to fascinating outcomes! Always plan for variations when conducting experiments!
