Answer 2

Option D 3/16

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 =
`(y-y')/(x-x')`

=
`((17)/(48)-(1)/(6))/(3-2)`

=
`(17-8)/(48)`

=
`(9)/(48)=(3)/(16)`

Option D 3/16 is the answer.
