Answer: the rate change is 1/3
Step-by-step explanation: because its going up 1/3 not down.

So the numerator of your fraction (the top number) is the amount that was cut. The denominator (the bottom number) is the total amount of rope. So, your fraction would be 2/12. You can still simplify that by dividing both the numerator and denominator by 2 and end up with 1/6. Does that make sense? If you need any more help, go ahead and message me :)
Answer:
20
Step-by-step explanation:
Since we have given that
Dimensions of a triangle he has to use for fencing are
15 feet, 8 feet, and 20 feet.
1) For making it a right triangle it must satisfy the "Pythagoras theorem" which states that
No, it will not be able to make a right triangle.
2) Joel cut the longest piece of wood in order to make a right triangle.
So, from above we get that
So, the longest side must be 17 feet.
It takes him 30 seconds to install each foot of fencing,
The total perimeter of fencing will be
17 + 15 + 8 = 40 feet
So, for 1 foot he needs = 30 seconds
For 40 feet, he will need
40 × 30 = 1,200 seconds
1200/600 = 20 minutes
Hence, he needs 20 minutes to install all of the fences.
Find the unit rate:
That would be 24.8 cm
------------ = 0.14 cm/yr average
175 yr
