To find the rate of change in the goat's elevation, we divide the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time it takes to climb (22 minutes).
Rate of change = change in elevation / time
Rate of change = 50 feet / 22 minutes
To the nearest hundredth, the rate of change in the goat's elevation is 2.27 feet/minute.
A mountain goat is climbing to the top of a large cliff. The cliff is 50 feet higher than its starting point. If it takes the goat 22 minutes to climb this cliff, interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the goat’s elevation. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)
The quotient that best represents the rate of change in the goat’s elevation is
