Carl had packed 6 crates by 8 a.m. By 11 a.m., he had packed 24 crates. Find the average rate of change in crates packed from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
difference in crates 24-6=18
difference divided by time=18/3=6
6 crates per hour
:)
hope that helps
To find the average rate of change in crates packed from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m., we need to determine how many crates Carl packed per hour during that time period.
First, let's find the change in the number of crates packed from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.:
Number of crates packed at 11 a.m. - Number of crates packed at 8 a.m.
= 24 crates - 6 crates
= 18 crates
Next, we need to find the duration of the time period from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.:
11 a.m. - 8 a.m.
= 3 hours
Finally, we can calculate the average rate of change in crates packed:
Average rate of change = Change in crates packed / Duration of time period
= 18 crates / 3 hours
= 6 crates per hour
Therefore, Carl packed crates at an average rate of 6 crates per hour from 8 a.m. to 11 a.m.
