To find the rate of change when trading goats for sheep, we can analyze the trade you described.

In the trade, you have:
- **Initial number of goats**: 60
- **Goats traded**: 5
- **Sheep received**: 7

After the trade, you will have:
- **Remaining goats**: 60 - 5 = 55
- **Sheep gained**: 7

To find the rate of change, we can express it in terms of goats per sheep traded:
- For every 5 goats traded, you receive 7 sheep.

Thus, the rate of change can be expressed as:
- Rate of change of goats to sheep = (Number of goats traded) / (Number of sheep received) = \( \frac{5 \text{ goats}}{7 \text{ sheep}} \)

In this case, you can interpret the rate of change as approximately 0.714 goats per sheep when trading. If you'd like a different interpretation or format for the rate of change, please let me know!
