Question

jason is training for a marathon bike ride. His average speed increase from 3 miles per hour to 6 miles per hour in 3 months find the rate of change in the miles per hour that jason bikes

Answer 1

The rate of change is 1 mile per hour per month

Explanation:

We are given

initial speed = 3 mph

final speed =6 mph

total number of months =3

now, we can use rate of change formula

we know that

rate of change = ( final speed - initial speed)/(total number of months)

now, we can plug values

and we get

Rate of change is

`=(6-3)/(3)` mph per month

=1 mph per month
