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.
well i found out and he was wrong, the answer to the question is 2.27 :/
what is that in decimals?
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to divide the change in elevation by the time it takes to climb.
The change in elevation is 50 feet (as mentioned, the cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point).
The time taken is 22 minutes.
Therefore, to find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we divide the change in elevation by the time taken:
Rate of change = change in elevation / time taken
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
To express the answer to the nearest hundredth, we need to divide 50 by 22:
Rate of change = 2.27 feet/minute
So, the quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet/minute (rounded to the nearest hundredth).
