Compute the change in distance per minute. Converting to 48ths:
- 2 min: 1/6 = 8/48
- 3 min: 17/48
- 4 min: 13/24 = 26/48
- 5 min: 35/48
- 6 min: 11/12 = 44/48
Each minute the distance increases by 9/48 = 3/16 miles.
Rate of change = 3/16 mile per minute (≈ 0.1875 mi/min).
- 2 min: 1/6 = 8/48
- 3 min: 17/48
- 4 min: 13/24 = 26/48
- 5 min: 35/48
- 6 min: 11/12 = 44/48
Each minute the distance increases by 9/48 = 3/16 miles.
Rate of change = 3/16 mile per minute (≈ 0.1875 mi/min).
