Answer:
9.5 inches per month
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the information about the depth of the pond:
Month 1: 93 in
Month 2: 98 in
Month 3: 112 in
From month 1 to month 3, the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month can be calculated using formula
[tex]\dfrac{\text{Depth}_3-\text{Depth}_1}{3-1}[/tex]
Hence, from month 1 to month 3, what is the average rate of change of the depth of the pond, in inches per month is
[tex]\dfrac{112-93}{3-1}=\dfrac{19}{2}=9.5\ in/month[/tex]
