To interpret the quotient, we need to divide the change in altitude by the time it took to make the adjustment.

The change in altitude is 4,000 feet, and the time taken is 3.5 minutes.

So, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is 4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes.

Now, let's calculate this rate of change:

4,000 feet / 3.5 minutes ≈ 1142.86 feet/minute

Therefore, the rate of change in the plane's altitude is approximately 1142.86 feet per minute.
