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

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?

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?

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
