1. A squirrel has stored its acorns in a hole that is 45 feet from the ground in a tall tree. The squirrel starts on a perch 100 feet above the ground. The squirrel moves from the perch down to its stored acorns in 5.25 seconds. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the squirrel’s height above the ground. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
