A climber is on a hike. After 2 hours, he is at an altitude of 400 feet. After 6 hours, he is at an altitude of 700 feet. What is the average rate of change?

Average rate of change = (change in height during some time) / (length of time for the change).
Change in height = (700 feet - 400 feet) = 300 feet
Time for the change = (6 hours - 2 hours) = 4 hours
Average rate of change = (300 feet) / (4 hours) = 75 feet per hour

The average rate of change in altitude is calculated to be 75 feet per hour. This is determined by finding the change in altitude and the change in time over the specified period. By using the formula for average rate of change, we arrive at this value.
