Question

The average rate of increase per year?

Answer 1

Answer:

Average rate of increase will be 0.0466 feet/year

Step-by-step explanation:

We have given that the scientific studies indicate that the ocean level could rise 3.5 feet in 75 years

So rise in level of ocean = 3 feet

Time by which the ocean level rise = 75 years

We have to find the average rate of ocean rise

Average rate of ocean rise is given by $\frac{rise\ in\ level}{total\ time}=\frac{3.5}{75}=0.0466feet/year$
