Question

according to the table, what was the rate of change between friday and saturday? shells per day

Explanation:

Step1: Find the change in the number of shells

The number of shells on Friday is \(3\) and on Saturday is \(9\). The change in the number of shells is \(9 - 3=6\).

Step2: Find the change in the number of days

The change in the number of days from Friday to Saturday is \(1\) (since Saturday - Friday = 1 day).

Step3: Calculate the rate of change

The rate of change (shells per day) is given by the formula \(\text{Rate of change}=\frac{\text{Change in shells}}{\text{Change in days}}\). Substituting the values, we get \(\frac{9 - 3}{1}=\frac{6}{1}=6\).

Answer:

\(6\)
