Question

After 4 hours, Samantha has 45 candies. After 6 hours, she has 35 candies.

Find the rate of change and explain what it means.

Answer 1

2.922

Explanation:

first, we have to find the unit rate to know how long it takes Samantha to make one candle. =

45 divided by 4=11.25 candles in an hour

then we will do the same for the other number.

35 divided by 6=5.8333...

the last step is to find the difference in time.

11.25-8.333-2.922

Answer 2

The rate of change is 10 candies per hour.
