The mountain goat is climbing to the top of the 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 goats elevation. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.
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 for the goat to climb the cliff (22 minutes).
Rate of change = Change in elevation / Time
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
The quotient, when rounded to the nearest hundredth, describes the rate of change in the goat's elevation.
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we divide the change in elevation by the time taken.
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 rate of change in the goat's elevation is 50 feet / 22 minutes.
Calculating this quotient to the nearest hundredth gives us a rate of approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
To interpret the quotient that describes the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to determine the change in elevation per unit of time.
The change in elevation is given as 50 feet (the height of the cliff) and the time taken to climb the cliff is given as 22 minutes.
To find the rate of change in elevation, we divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time taken (22 minutes).
Rate of change in elevation = Change in elevation / Time taken
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Dividing 50 by 22, we get:
Rate of change in elevation = 2.27 feet/minute
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
