To find the average rate of change, we need to divide the change in the quantity by the change in time.
In this case, the change in the quantity is the number of stairs climbed down, which is 78. The change in time is 6 minutes.
Average rate of change = (Change in quantity) / (Change in time)
= 78 stairs / 6 minutes
= 13 stairs per minute
Therefore, the average rate of change for climbing down the stairs is 13 stairs per minute.
Find the average rate of change for the situtation.
