Answer:

(1)/(4) lbs/person

Explanation:

Here is the complete question: Find the rate of change for the situation:

A chef cooks 9 lbs of chicken for 36 people and 17 lbs of chicken for 68 people.

Given: 1st situation, A chef cook 9 lbs chicken for 36 people.

2nd situation, chef cook 17 lbs chicken for 68 people.

∴ 1st situation, weight of chicken per person=
$(9\ lbs)/(36\ person) = (9)/(36)$

Weight of chicken per person=
(1)/(4) lbs/ person

2nd situation, weight of chicken per person=
$(17\ lbs)/(68\ person) = (17)/(68)$

Weight of chicken per person=
(1)/(4) lbs/ person

In both the situation chef cook same amount of chicken per person, which is
(1)/(4) lbs/ person

∴ Rate of change is
(1)/(4) lbs/ person
