The rate of change is D. 1foot 5inches (17inches) 8inches.
The foot is a measure of a unit of length (or distance) in US units, which equals 12 inches.
The rate of change is the difference between x and y variables. It can be mathematically expressed as Change in input/Change in output. The formula for the rate of change is as follows:
= Δx/Δy
where Δ = change
14inches + 8inches = 22inches
13inches + 7.5inches = 20.5inches
18inches + 8inches = 26inches
But 17inches + 8inches = 25inches
Find the rate of change from 2feet 1 inch (25inches) to 8inches.
Thus, the rate of change is D. 1foot 5inches (17inches) 8inches.
