The rate of change in the goat's elevation can be found by dividing the change in elevation (50 feet) by the time taken to climb the cliff (22 minutes).
Rate of change in elevation = change in elevation / time
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
Rate of change in elevation ≈ 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 feet/minute.
