A bird is flying at an average altitude of 10 meters above the ground. After 3 seconds, it settles on a branch that is 3 meters above the ground. Interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the bird’s altitude. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth and remember that the bird is descending.(1 point)

Question

The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the bird’s altitude is
meters/second.

Answer 1

The rate of change in the bird's altitude can be calculated by finding the difference in altitude and dividing it by the time taken.

Altitude difference: 10 meters - 3 meters = 7 meters
Time taken: 3 seconds

Rate of change = Altitude difference / Time taken
Rate of change = 7 meters / 3 seconds

To find the rate of change in meters per second, we divide the altitude difference by the time taken.

Rate of change = 2.33 meters/second

Answer 2

nope

Answer 3

Bot?
its wrong

Answer 4

A whale is swimming at a current depth of 15 meters below the surface. It swims up toward the surface and arrives there 9.5 seconds later. Find the quotient that best describes the rate of change in the whale’s depth. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the whale’s depth is
meters/second.
