A whale is swimming at a current depth of 15 meters below the surface. It swims up toward the surface and arrives there 9.5 seconds later Find the quotient that best describes the rate of change in the whales depth

Answer 1

To find the rate of change in the whale's depth, we need to divide the change in depth by the time it takes for that change to occur.

The change in depth is the initial depth minus the final depth, which in this case is 15 meters below the surface.

The time it takes for the change to occur is given as 9.5 seconds.

Therefore, the rate of change in the whale's depth is:

15 meters / 9.5 seconds.
