four friends went to a festival where they each had to pay an entrance fee and buy tickets for each ride they went on the table below shows how much money each of them spent at the festival and the number of rides each went find the rate of change between each of the friends make sure to write each rate of change as a unit rate
To find the rate of change between each friend, we need to divide the change in money spent by the change in the number of rides for each pair of friends.
Let's assume the friends' names are A, B, C, and D.
Let's denote:
A: Amount of money spent by Friend A (in $)
B: Amount of money spent by Friend B (in $)
C: Amount of money spent by Friend C (in $)
D: Amount of money spent by Friend D (in $)
RA: Number of rides taken by Friend A
RB: Number of rides taken by Friend B
RC: Number of rides taken by Friend C
RD: Number of rides taken by Friend D
Now, let's calculate the rate of change for each pair of friends:
1. Rate of change between A and B:
RateAB = (B - A) / (RB - RA) [unit: $/ride]
2. Rate of change between A and C:
RateAC = (C - A) / (RC - RA) [unit: $/ride]
3. Rate of change between A and D:
RateAD = (D - A) / (RD - RA) [unit: $/ride]
4. Rate of change between B and C:
RateBC = (C - B) / (RC - RB) [unit: $/ride]
5. Rate of change between B and D:
RateBD = (D - B) / (RD - RB) [unit: $/ride]
6. Rate of change between C and D:
RateCD = (D - C) / (RD - RC) [unit: $/ride]
Please note that the unit for the rate of change is per ride ($/ride), which represents the amount of money spent for each additional ride taken.
To calculate the specific rate of change for each pair of friends, input the corresponding values of money spent and the number of rides taken.
