Question

to determine how many staff members she needed, a local coffee shop owner recorded the number of customers that entered the shop each day. according to the table, when was the rate of change greater? between wednesday and saturday between tuesday and thursday

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rate of change between Wednesday and Saturday

The formula for rate of change is $\frac{\text{Change in customers}}{\text{Change in days}}$.
Change in customers: $416 - 411=5$.
Change in days: $6 - 4 = 2$ (assuming Tuesday = 2, Wednesday = 3, Thursday = 4, Friday = 5, Saturday = 6).
Rate of change: $\frac{5}{2}=2.5$.

Step2: Calculate rate of change between Tuesday and Thursday

Change in customers: $417 - 411 = 6$.
Change in days: $4 - 2=2$.
Rate of change: $\frac{6}{2}=3$.

Answer:

between Tuesday and Thursday
