Answer

Average change in sea level per minute = -24.5 ft/minute

Step-by-step explanation

The average change in sea level each minute is given as


\text{Average change in sea level per minute = }\frac{Sea\text{ level changes}}{Time\text{ Taken}}

For this question,

Sea level changes = -73.5 ft.

Time Taken = 3 minutes.

Average change in sea level per minute = (-73.5/3) = -24.5 ft/minute

Hope this Helps!!!
