Question

A farmer planted 60 potatoes in two garden plots, 120 potatoes in four garden plots, and 240 potatoes in eight garden plots. What is the constant rate of change?

Answer 1

The rate of change can be calculated below

`\begin{gathered} \text{rate = }\frac{\text{ number of potatoes}}{\text{plots}} \\ \text{rate}=(60)/(2)=30\text{ potatoes per plot} \\ \text{rate}=(120)/(4)=30\text{ potatoes per plot} \\ \text{rate}=(240)/(8)=\text{ }30\text{ potatoes per plot} \end{gathered}`

The answer is C. 30 potatoes per garden plot.
