a mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. the cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point. it it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb this cliff, interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the goats elevation. give you answer to the nearest hundredth
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to calculate the quotient of the change in elevation (50 feet) divided by the time it took (22 minutes).
Rate of change in elevation = Change in elevation / Time
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Calculating this quotient, we find:
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.
To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we divide the change in elevation by the time taken to climb.
The change in elevation is 50 feet (since the cliff is 50 feet higher than the starting point). The time taken to climb is 22 minutes.
Therefore, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is 50 feet / 22 minutes.
To give the answer to the nearest hundredth, we can round the quotient.
Calculating the quotient, we get:
50 feet / 22 minutes ≈ 2.27 feet per minute.
So, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is approximately 2.27 feet per minute.
To interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we need to divide the change in elevation by the time it takes the goat to climb it.
In this case, the change in elevation is 50 feet (as the cliff is 50 feet higher than the starting point), and the time it takes the goat to climb it is 22 minutes.
So, to find the rate of change in elevation, we divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time it takes (22 minutes):
Rate of change = Change in elevation / Time
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Now, let's do the math:
Rate of change ≈ 2.27 feet per minute
Therefore, the quotient 2.27 can be interpreted as the rate of change in the goat's elevation.
