Answer:
D) [tex]\frac{3}{10}\ cm/year[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Amount of sea level rose = [tex]\frac{1}{5}\ cm[/tex]
Number of years = [tex]\frac{2}{3}\ years[/tex]
we need to find the rate at which sea level rise.
Solution:
Now we know that;
rate at which sea level rise can be calculated by dividing Amount of sea level rose by Number of years.
framing in equation form we get;
rate at which sea level rise = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{2}{3}} = \frac{1}{5}\times{\frac{3}{2}= \frac{3}{10}\ cm/year[/tex]
Hence sea level rise at rate of [tex]\frac{3}{10}\ cm/year[/tex]
