Answer:

0.33

Explanation:

Aight so all we do is use the formula, as shown here:


(\Delta x)/(\Delta y)


x is this amount it changed, which is 0.99. So we plug that for
\Delta x:


(0.99)/(\Delta y)

Then, we find the amount of times the storm changed, and we plug that for
\Delta y:


(0.99)/(3)

So, now that we have utilized the formula, we can now solve!


(0.99)/(3) = 0.33

Good luck!
