The problem:
Here is the definition of rate of change of one quantity with respect to another:
The average rate of change of A with respect to B on an interval is
average rate of change of A with respect to B = (change in A) / (change in B)
Apply the above definition of average rate of change of A with respect to B to each of the following. Be sure to identify the quantity A, the quantity B and the requested average rate.
If the position of a ball rolling along a track changes from 10 cm to 20 cm while the clock time changes from 4 seconds to 9 seconds, what is the average rate of change of its position with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
rate= change position/change time
rate= 10cm/5sec
rate= 2cm/s

If the velocity of a ball rolling along a track changes from 10 cm / second to 40 cm / second during an interval during which the clock time changes by 3 seconds, then what is the average rate of change of its velocity with respect to clock time during this interval?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
rate= change velocity/change time
rate= 30cm/s/3sec
rate= 10cm/s^2
#$&*
If the average rate at which position changes with respect to clock time is 5 cm / second, and if the clock time changes by 10 seconds, by how much does the position change?
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
5cm/s=10sec/cm
position change= 50cm

You will be expected hereafter to know and apply, in a variety of contexts, the definition given in this question. You need to know this definition word for word. If you try to apply the definition without using all the words it is going to cost you time and it will very likely diminish your performance. Briefly explain how you will ensure that you remember this definition.
answer/question/discussion: ->->->->->->->->->->->-> (start in the next line):
rate is equal to the change in A with respect to the change in B.
@& It's change in A divided by change in B, but that's what you meant.*@
