Question

it is expected that 563 quadrillion thermal units of Btu (British thermal units) of energy will be
consumed worldwide in 2015. In 2003, worldwide consumption was 421 quadrillion Btu. What is the
expected rate of change in consumption from 2003 to 2015? (what is rate of change?)

Answer 1

Answer:

the expected rate of change in consumption is 11.83

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the expected rate of change in consumption is shown below:

= (Expected quadrillion thermal units - 2003 quadrillion thermal units) ÷ (difference in years)

= (563 - 421) ÷ (2015 - 2003)

= 142 ÷ 12

= 11.83

hence, the expected rate of change in consumption is 11.83

We simply applied the above formula so that the correct value could come
