Karma baked 48 cookies yesterday. Every hour, she bakes another batch of 12 cookies. What is the rate of change for the scenario described?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

48/12=4 4 is your answer

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

@Black_ninja123 wouldnt it be 12?

OpenStudy (black_ninja123):

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

@TheSmartOne woud it be 12?

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Your question makes no sense.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

It goes from the past to the present and the question is vague.

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

4 12 60 48

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

those are my answers ^

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Every 4 hours she makes 48 cookies. So we can make a rate of 4:48 equal to 1:12, Does that help?

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

but it says that she already had 48?

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

it says she bakes another 12

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

The existing 48 is the starting point, so they put it in there to confuse you. The starting point has nothing to do with the rate of change.

TheSmartOne (thesmartone):

Also, rate of change means slope

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

Rate of change is the slope.

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

okay so 4?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Just like @Black_ninja123 I think it is 4, @ccchristian1,

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

No, it is not 4.

OpenStudy (ccchristian1):

its 12 right ?

OpenStudy (e.mccormick):

If the rate of change was 4 then in 1 hour they would make another 4, so yes, your original answer ccchristian1 (12) was correct.

thank you
