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 rate of change in the goat's elevation can be found by dividing the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time taken to climb the cliff (22 minutes).
Rate of change in elevation = change in elevation / time
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Rate of change in elevation ≈ 2.27 feet/minute
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we can divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time taken (22 minutes). The quotient that represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation is given by:
Rate of change = Change in elevation / Time taken
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Calculating this, we get:
Rate of change ≈ 2.27 feet/minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet/minute.
To interpret the quotient that represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to divide the change in elevation by the time taken.
In this case, the change in elevation is 50 feet (since the cliff is 50 feet higher than the starting point) and the time taken is 22 minutes. So, the quotient would be:
50 feet / 22 minutes
To find the rate of change in feet per minute, we divide the change in elevation by the time taken:
50 feet / 22 minutes ≈ 2.27 feet/minute
Therefore, the quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet per minute, rounded to the nearest hundredth.
