#1) The correct answer is A) 5.
#2) The correct answer is C) the number of cans collected per day.

We find the rate of change by finding the change int he outputs, the change in the inputs, and writing it as output/input:

(20-15)/(2-1) = 5/1 = 5

The rate of change tells us how many cans (on average) per day were collected.
