Answer: Average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Height at which a sea lion dove from the water surface at sea level = (-)216.12 meters

We'll neglect the negative sign while finding the value of average rate of change.

Time taken to reach the above altitude = 2.4 minutes

So, Average change in the sea lions altitude per minute is given by

$(216.12)/(2.4)=90.05\text{ meters per minute}$

Hence, average change in sea lion's altitude per minute is 90.05 meters per minute.
