Question

Find the rate of change for the situation. A Chef cooks 9 lbs of chicken for 36 people and 17 lbs of chicken 68 people

Answer 1

the answer is: for every 4 people its 1 lbs

Answer 2

Answer:

The rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person

Step-by-step explanation:

According to my research the formula for the Rate of Change is the following

$\frac{y2 - y1}{x2 - x1}$

In this situation we can use y for lbs and x for people. Since all the information was given to us in the question we can just plug the values into the formula above and solve for the rate of change.

$\frac{17lbs-9lbs}{68-36} = \frac{8lbs}{32people} = 0.25lbs/person$

So we can see that the rate of change is of 0.25 lbs / person
