Respuesta :

The question is essentially asking how drastically the temperature changes between each from between March and June. From March to April, the temp changes 6.3 degrees (73.1-66.8) Then from April to May, it changes 5 degrees (78.1-73.1). And finally, from May to June the temperature changes 4.3 degrees (82.4-78.1).

Now, let's take all the temp changes and add them up:
6.3+5+4.3 = 15.6

Now divide by 3 (The number of temperatures we added)

15.6/3 = 5.2

So 5.2 (c) is the average change in temperature between March and June.

Hope this Helps!
from March 15 to April 15, the change 6.3°
from April 15 to May 15, the change is 5°
from May 15 to June 15, the change is 4.3°

to find the average rate of change, we have to add the changes together, and then divide then by 3

6.3+5=11.3
11.3+4.3=15.6
15.6/3= 5.2

So your answer is C
