Answer:
Option D 3/16
Step-by-step explanation:
Carol is cross-country skiing.
With the help of the given table we have to calculate the rate of change.
If we draw a graph for distance traveled on y-axis and tins at x-axis we find two points, ( 2, 1/6) and (3, 17/48).
Then slope of the line connecting these points will be the rate of change.
Rate of change = Slope = [tex]\frac{y-y'}{x-x'}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{\frac{17}{48}-\frac{1}{6}}{3-2}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{17-8}{48}[/tex]
= [tex]\frac{9}{48}=\frac{3}{16}[/tex]
Option D 3/16 is the answer.
