Answer:
The average change in the sea lion's altitude is -90.05 m/min.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given the altitude as −216.12 meters and the time taken in 2.4 minutes.
The average change in the sea lion's altitude is given by
\(\text{average change}=\frac{\text{Altitude}}{\text{time}}\)
On substituting the known values, we get
\(\text{average change}=\frac{-216.12}{2.4}\text{ m/min}\\\\\text{average change}=-90.05\)
Therefore, the average change in the sea lion's altitude is -90.05 m/min.
