To calculate Rate of Change, we subtract to determine the Change in Value, and then divide by ________.

• Distance

• The higher value.

• Time

• The lesser value.

At 2pm, the temperature outside was 60F. By 6pm it was 40F. Calculate the average rate of temperature change from 2pm to 6pm.

• 20 F/hour

• 4 F/hour

• 1.5 F/hour

• 5 F/hour

A hurricane traveled 400 miles from August 26 to August 30. Calculate the hurricane's rate of movement.

• 400 miles/day

• 4 miles/day

• 100 miles/day

• .1 miles/day

In 1950, the concentration of carbon dioxide in Earth's atmosphere was 310 ppm. By 2000, it was 370 ppm. Calculate the average rate of change of CO2 concentration.

• 1.2 ppm/year

• 60 ppm/year

• 50 ppm/year

• .83 ppm/year

Describe how my distance from home changed over time, as show by the graph.

• Distance increased at an increasing rate.

• Distance increased at an decreasing rate.

• Distance decreased at an increasing rate.

• Distance decreased at an decreasing rate.

Describe the relationship between a hurricane's central air pressure and its wind speed, as shown by the graph.

• There is a cyclic relationship between pressure and wind speed.

• Wind speed is fastest when pressure is high.

• Wind speed is fastest when pressure is low.

• There is no relatioship between a hurricane's pressure and wind speed.

Describe the relationship between a planet's distance from the sun and its orbital speed.

• As distance increases, orbital speed decreases, then increases once 20 AU is reached.

• As distance increases, orbital speed remains constant (the same).

• As distance increases, orbital speed increases.

• As distance increases, orbital speed decreases.
