Blueberry bushes are planted in a field in the year 2009. the blueberry bushes start to grow and cover the field in such a way that the area covered by the bushes doubles every year. if they continue to grow in this way, the field will be entirely covered with blueberry bushes by the year 2016.

when will the field be covered 25% of the way?

a.

  C.  The field will be covered 25% of the way in 2014.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the field was completely covered in 2016, and the blueberries doubled in size in one year to do that, the field was half-covered in 2015. Similar reasoning tells you the field was 1/4 covered in 2014.

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
