Question

clare kept a tally of the number of emails she received each day for a week. emails clare received according to the graph, when was the rate of decrease greater? between wednesday and friday between tuesday and thursday

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Tuesday - Thursday

From Tuesday to Thursday, the number of emails remains 8 (no change, rate of decrease is 0).

Step2: Analyze Wednesday - Friday

From Wednesday (8 emails) to Friday (3 emails), the change in emails is \(8 - 3 = 5\) over 2 days. The rate of decrease is \(\frac{5}{2}=2.5\) per day. Since 2.5 > 0, the rate of decrease is greater between Wednesday and Friday.

Answer:

between Wednesday and Friday
