Question

Month 1: 93 in

Answer 1

Answer:

9.5 inches per month

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the information about the depth of the pond:

Month 1:     93 in

Month 2:    98 in

Month 3:    112 in

From month 1 to month 3, the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month can be calculated using formula

$\dfrac{\text{Depth}_3-\text{Depth}_1}{3-1}$

Hence, from month 1 to month 3, what is the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month is

$\dfrac{112-93}{3-1}=\dfrac{19}{2}=9.5\ in/month$
