1.2 inches per hour
2.4 inches per hour
3.3 inches per hour
5.7 inches per hour

Answer 1

2.4 inches per hour is the answer

Answer 2

Answer:

B) 2 2.4 inches per hour.

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's take the two points from the table.

(0, 3.3) and (0.5, 4.5)

Rate of change = (4.5 - 3.3)/(0.5 - 0)

= 1.2/0.5

= 2.4 inches per hour

The answer is B) 2 2.4 inches per hour.
