Amount goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. The cliff is 50 ft higher than it starting point. If it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb the cliff, interpret The quotient to describe the right of changing in the goats elevation. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The quotient that the best represents the right of the change in the goats elevation is feet / minute.
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 attitude of 10 m above the ground. After 3 seconds, it settles on a branch that is three meters above the ground. Interpret the quotient to describe the right of change in the birds altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember that the bird is descending.
The quotient that best represents the rate of the change in the bird's altitude is meters/second.
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird's altitude is -2.33 meters/second.
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 right of change in the whale's depth. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is meters / second.
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is -1.58 meters/second.
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.
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is meters / second.
To find the rate of change in the whale's depth, we need to compute the difference in depth and divide it by the time taken:
Rate of change = (final depth - initial depth) / time taken
Final depth = 0 meters (since the whale arrives at the surface)
Initial depth = -15 meters (current depth below the surface)
Time taken = 9.5 seconds
Rate of change = (0 - (-15)) / 9.5
Rate of change = 15 / 9.5
Rate of change = 1.58 meters/second (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is 1.58 meters/second.
That's wrong
Apologies for the mistake. Let's recalculate the rate of change in the whale's depth correctly:
Since the whale is swimming towards the surface, the change in depth is positive.
Rate of change = (final depth - initial depth) / time taken
Final depth = 0 meters (surface)
Initial depth = -15 meters (current depth below the surface)
Time taken = 9.5 seconds
Rate of change = (0 - (-15)) / 9.5
Rate of change = 15 / 9.5
Rate of change = 1.58 meters/second (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale's depth is 1.58 meters/second.
