Question

fans of the hillsdale baseball team compared the number of games won by their team each year.
according to the table, when was the rate of change greater?
between 2021 and 2025
between 2023 and 2024

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate rate of change between 2021 - 2025

The formula for rate of change is $\frac{\text{Change in games won}}{\text{Change in years}}$.
For 2021 - 2025:
Change in games won = $30 - 28=2$
Change in years = $2025 - 2021 = 4$
Rate of change = $\frac{2}{4}=0.5$

Step2: Calculate rate of change between 2023 - 2024

Change in games won = $27 - 25 = 2$
Change in years = $2024 - 2023=1$
Rate of change = $\frac{2}{1}=2$

Answer:

The rate of change is greater between 2023 and 2024.
