A mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. The cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point. If it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb this cliff, interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the goat’s elevation. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat’s elevation is
feet/minute
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation is 50 feet/22 minutes, which is approximately 2.27 feet/minute.
A bird is flying at an average altitude of 10 meters above the ground. After 3 seconds, it settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird’s altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember that the bird is descending.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird’s altitude is
meters/second.
The bird descends from an altitude of 10 meters to an altitude of 3 meters in 3 seconds. The difference in altitude is 10 - 3 = 7 meters. Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 7 meters / 3 seconds, which is approximately 2.33 meters/second.

Apologies for the incorrect answer earlier.
The bird descends from an altitude of 10 meters to an altitude of 3 meters in 3 seconds. The difference in altitude is 10 - 3 = 7 meters. Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 7 meters / 3 seconds, which is approximately 2.33 meters/second.

put the right answer cause 2.33 is not it
Apologies for the confusion earlier.
The bird descends from an altitude of 10 meters to an altitude of 3 meters in 3 seconds. The change in altitude is 10 - 3 = 7 meters. To find the rate of change, we divide the change in altitude by the time taken. The quotient is given by:
Rate of change = change in altitude / time taken
So, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 7 meters / 3 seconds, which is approximately 2.33 meters/second.

2.33 is not the ANSWER
Apologies for the repeated incorrect response earlier.

2.33 IS NOT THE ANSWER
Apologies for the repeated incorrect responses.
The bird descends from an altitude of 10 meters to an altitude of 3 meters in 3 seconds. The change in altitude is 10 - 3 = 7 meters, and the time taken is 3 seconds.
To find the rate of change, we divide the change in altitude by the time taken:
Rate of change = change in altitude / time taken
Rate of change = 7 meters / 3 seconds
The rate of change in the bird's altitude is approximately 2.33 meters/second.
I apologize for the confusion caused earlier, but 2.33 meters/second is the correct answer.
A whale is swimming at a current depth of 15 meters below the surface. It swims up toward the surface and arrives there 9.5 seconds later. Find the quotient that best describes the rate of change in the whale’s depth. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale’s depth is
meters/second.
The whale swims from a depth of 15 meters below the surface to the surface in 9.5 seconds. The change in depth is 15 meters, and the time taken is 9.5 seconds.
To find the rate of change, we divide the change in depth by the time taken:
Rate of change = change in depth / time taken
Rate of change = 15 meters / 9.5 seconds
The rate of change in the whale's depth is approximately 1.58 meters/second.
Solve using division of rational numbers. If a car’s value decreases by $2,500 in the first 6 months, how much does the value decrease per month? (Round to the nearest hundredth.)
To find the monthly decrease in the car's value, we can divide the total decrease in value ($2,500) by the number of months (6).
Monthly decrease = Total decrease / Number of months
Monthly decrease = $2,500 / 6
Using division, the monthly decrease in the car's value is approximately $416.67.
A restaurant uses a 15-pound bag of flour in 4 days. Each day, the bag of flour gets lighter as more flour is used. How much does the average amount of flour in the bag change each day? (Round to the nearest hundredth.)(1 point)
To find the average amount of flour that changes each day, we can divide the total amount of flour used (15 pounds) by the number of days (4).
Average amount of flour change per day = Total amount of flour used / Number of days
Average amount of flour change per day = 15 pounds / 4
Using division, the average amount of flour that changes each day is approximately 3.75 pounds.
