To find the rate change in the whale's depth, we divide the change in depth by the time it takes to make that change.
The change in depth is from 15 meters below the surface to the surface, which is a change of 15 meters.
The time it takes to make that change is 9.5 seconds.
Therefore, the rate change can be found by dividing the change in depth by the time:
Rate change = change in depth / time
Rate change = 15 meters / 9.5 seconds
Rate change = 1.57894736842 meters/second (rounded to the nearest hundredth)
The quotient that best describes the rate change in the whale's depth is approximately 1.58 meters/second.
