Carol is cross-country skiing. The table shows the distance she traveled after various numbers of minutes. What is the rate of change? Distance Carol Traveled while Cross-Country Skiing Minutes Distance Traveled (miles) 2 StartFraction 1 Over 6 Endfraction 3 StartFraction 17 Over 48 EndFraction 4 StartFraction 13 Over 24 EndFraction 5 StartFraction 35 Over 48 EndFraction 6 StartFraction 11 Over 12 EndFraction

3/16 miles/minute

Step-by-step explanation:

A rate of change describes how an output quantity changes relative to the change in the input quantity.

Points given:

Input        Output

  2            1/6

  3          17/48

  4          13/24

  5          35/48

  6          11/12

Here input values describe the time in minutes from 2 to 6 and output values describe the distance in miles from 1/6 to 11/12

Calculating the rate of change using the first two pairs of input-output values

We will get the same result if we take any other ordered pair of input and output values.
