Question

jon kept track of the number of games his soccer team won each year.
according to the table, when was the rate of decrease greater?
between 2020 and 2022
between 2021 and 2023

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the rate of decrease between 2020 and 2022

The number of games won in 2020 is \(30\), and in 2022 is \(29\). The decrease is \(30 - 29=1\). The time interval is \(2022 - 2020 = 2\) years. The rate of decrease is \(\frac{1}{2}=0.5\) games per year.

Step2: Calculate the rate of decrease between 2021 and 2023

The number of games won in 2021 is \(44\), and in 2023 is \(31\). The decrease is \(44 - 31 = 13\). The time interval is \(2023 - 2021=2\) years. The rate of decrease is \(\frac{13}{2} = 6.5\) games per year.

Answer:

between 2021 and 2023
