Answer:

0.5 ft per min

Step-by-step explanation:

in 80 minutes the radius expanded by 40%

we can set up a proportion of percent change over minutes:

.4/80 = r/1

cross-multiply to get:

80r = .4

r = .005 or 1/2 of a foot per minute.

Hope It Helps :)

and tells you the measure (quantity) of something.

The cost, mileage, and weight of the car are all quantitative items.

The model of the car may have numbers in it, but it doesn't tell
the measure of anything.  It isn't quantitative data.
