The rate of change in elevation can be interpreted as the change in elevation per unit of time. In this case, the change in elevation is 50 feet and the time taken to climb is 22 minutes.
To calculate the rate of change in elevation, we divide the change in elevation by the time taken:
Rate of change in elevation = Change in elevation / Time taken
Rate of change in elevation = 50 feet / 22 minutes
To answer the question, we need to round the rate of change in elevation to the nearest hundred.
Since the rate of change in elevation is a fraction, we can convert it to a decimal:
Rate of change in elevation = 50/22 ≈ 2.27 feet per minute
Rounding this to the nearest hundred, we get:
Rate of change in elevation ≈ 2.3 feet per minute (nearest hundred)
Climbing to a large cliff is 50 feet higher then starting point it takes 22 min to climb interpet the quotient to describe the rate of change in elevation answer nearest hundred
