Verified Answer :

B, this is because if you times 50 miles and 1 hour by 8, you will get 400 miles and 8 hours.

Answer: Option 'B' is correct.

Distance traveled by Ariel= 400 miles

Time taken by her = 8 hours

Since we know that rate of change is the number of measurement is being compared.

We need to calculate the rate of change is given by

So, Rate of change is 50 miles per hour

Hence, Option 'B' is correct.
