A whale is swimming at a current depth of 15 meters below the surface. It swims up toward the surface and arrives there 9.5 seconds later. Find the quotient that best describes the rate of change in the whale’s depth. Give your answer to the nearest hundredth.(1 point)

Answer 1

Answer: 1.58 m/s

Explanation:

We should try to find the m/s.

All we have to do is just substitute 15 for m and 9.5 for s.

`15/9.5\\=1.57894736842\\\approx 1.58`

The rate of change in the whale's depth is 1.58 m/s.
