To interpret the quotient, we need to calculate the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground. The squirrel starts at a perch 100 ft above the ground and moves down to its store of acorns, which is 45 ft from the ground. The time it takes for the squirrel to do this is 5.25 seconds.
The rate of change can be calculated by dividing the change in height by the time taken. In this case, the change in height is 100 ft - 45 ft = 55 ft. Therefore, the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground is:
Rate of Change = (Change in Height) / (Time Taken)
Rate of Change = 55 ft / 5.25 seconds
Calculating this, we find:
Rate of Change ≈ 10.476190476190476 ft/s
Rounded to the nearest hundred, the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground is approximately 10.48 ft/s.
A squirrel her store is a acorns and a hole that is 45 ft from the ground in The tall tree the squirrel starts on a perch 100 ft above the ground the squirrel moves from the perch down to its store acorns and 5.25 seconds interpret the quotient to describe the rate of change in the squirrel's height above the ground give your answer to the nearest hundred
