Rate of Change:
At 1 mile in 30 seconds.
At 5 miles in 2.5 minutes. 2.5 minutes = 2.5*60 = 150 seconds.
Rate of change = Change in height / Change in time
= (h₂-h₁)/(t₂-t₁)
= (5 -1) /(150 -30) = 4/120 = (1/30) = 0.0333 miles per second.
= (1/30) miles per second or 0.0333 miles per second.
To have the answer in miles per minute.
(1/30) miles per second = (1/30) miles/second.
60 seconds = 1minute
1 second = (1/60) minute.
(1/30) miles/second = (1/30) miles/(1/60)minute
= (1/30) *60 miles / minute
= 2 miles per minute.
60 minutes is 20% of 300 minutes
Since it says ESTIMATE:
round 5.9 to 6 and 3.4 to 3
6* 3 = 18
The estimate would be LETTER C 18
