Explanation:

Step1: Identify values for August and November

In August, the amount spent on gas is $64. In November, it is $66. The time period between August and November is \( 11 - 8 = 3 \) months.

Step2: Calculate rate of change

The rate of change formula is \(\frac{\text{Change in amount}}{\text{Change in time}}\). The change in amount is \( 66 - 64 = 2 \) dollars. The change in time is 3 months. So the rate of change is \(\frac{2}{3} \approx 0.67\) dollars per month.

Answer:

\(0.67\)
