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 in feet/minute.
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time it takes to climb (22 minutes).
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is 50 feet / 22 minutes ≈ 2.27 feet/minute.
So, the quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation is 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.
To find the rate of change in the bird's altitude, we need to divide the change in altitude (10 meters) by the time it takes (3 seconds).
Therefore, the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 10 meters / 3 seconds ≈ 3.33 meters/second.
So, the quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird's altitude is 3.33 meters/second.
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to divide the change in elevation by the time it takes. In this case, the change in elevation is 50 feet (the height of the cliff) and the time is 22 minutes.
So, we divide 50 feet by 22 minutes:
50 feet / 22 minutes ≈ 2.27 feet/minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet/minute.
To find the rate of change, we need to divide the change in the goat's elevation by the time it takes to climb the cliff. The change in elevation is given as 50 feet, and the time taken to climb the cliff is given as 22 minutes.
To calculate the rate of change, we divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time taken (22 minutes):
Rate of change = Change in elevation / Time taken
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
To find the answer to the question, we need to divide 50 by 22:
Rate of change = 2.27272727...
Rounded to the nearest hundredth, the rate of change is approximately 2.27 feet/minute.
