To find the average rate of change, we need to divide the change in the quantity by the change in the time. In this case, the change in height is a descent of 600 feet, and the time taken is 50 minutes.
Therefore, the average rate of change for the hiker descending 600 feet in 50 minutes is 600 feet / 50 minutes = 12 feet per minute.
Find the average rate of change for the situtation.
