In the past twenty years, scientists have seen the sea level rise at a rate of approximately 0.13 inches per year. If this rate continues, which best represents the change in sea level over the next 27 months (2.25 years)?

The change in the sea level will be by 0.2925 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

First of all , we will need to write out the rate at which the sea level is rising. This is 0.13 inches, per year. This means that every year, the sea level increases by 0.13 inches.

Since the sea level increases by 0.13 inches every year, in 2.25 years, to get the sea level, we will have to multiply the current rate at which it is rising by that duration of time.

This will be 2.25 years X 0.13 inches/ year = 0.2925 inches

Therefore, the change in the sea level will be by 0.2925 inches
