Answer:

Average rate of change = 33,333.33acre per year

Explanation:

Given:

Farm land in 2003 = 520,000 acre

Farm land in 2012 = 820,000 acre

Find:

Average rate of change

Computation;

Number of year = 2012 - 2003

Number of year = 9 year

Average rate of change = [Farm land in 2012 - Farm land in 2003] / Number of year

Average rate of change = [820,000 - 520,000] / 9

Average rate of change = [300,000] / 9

Average rate of change = 33,333.33acre per year
