Answer:
The average rate of change in steel production over the eight days is 0.15 tons per day
Step-by-step explanation:
Over the last eight days production has dropped by 1.2 tons.
Production dropped in 8 days = - 1.2
Production dropped in 1 day = [tex]\frac{-1.2}{8}[/tex]
= [tex]-0.15[/tex]
So, the average rate of change in steel production over the eight days is 0.15 tons per day
