Answer 1

To find the rate of change, we need to calculate the price per pound of apples.

For 2 pounds of apples costing $3.98, the price per pound is $3.98 divided by 2 pounds = $1.99 per pound.

For 6 pounds of apples costing $11.94, the price per pound is $11.94 divided by 6 pounds = $1.99 per pound.

Therefore, the rate of change, or the price per pound of apples, is $1.99 per pound.
