Answer:

The rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research the formula for the Rate of Change is the following

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

In this situation we can use y for lbs and x for people. Since all the information was given to us in the question we can just plug the values into the formula above and solve for the rate of change.

$\frac{17lbs-9lbs}{68-36} = \frac{8lbs}{32people} = 0.25lbs/person$

So we can see that the rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person

I hope this answered your question. If you have any more questions feel free to ask away at Brainly.

Annie rides her bicycle the 1.5 km to Ben’s house at an average speed of 12 km/h. Calculate the percentage increase that 12 km/h

castortr0y [4]

The question is asking you to find how much more quicky Annie is traveling on a bike compared to walking. We simply divide her biking speed by her walking speed to get a factor:
$x = 12 \div 3.75 \\ x = 3.2$

Then we convert this to a percent: 320 percent.

We can say that Annie is traveling 320 percent faster on a bike compared to walking.

A base ball diamond is square.The distance from home plate to first base is 90 feet.what is the distance from home plate to seco

Elena-2011 [213]

Because it is square, the distance from home to first base is the same as first base to second base.

Home to First is one side of a right triangle, first to second is the second side of the right triangle and then home to second base would be the hypotenuse of a right triangle.

Using the Pythagorean Theorem we can solve for the hypotenuse:

Let C = the hypotenuse:

90^2 + 90^2 = c^2

8100 + 8100 = c^2

16200 = c^2

c = √16200

c = 127.279 feet, round to 127 feet.
