    Answer:

    Option D 3/16

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Carol is cross-country skiing.

    With the help of the given table we have to calculate the rate of change.

    If we draw a graph for distance traveled on y-axis and tins at x-axis we find two points, ( 2, 1/6) and (3, 17/48).

    Then slope of the line connecting these points will be the rate of change.

    Rate of change = Slope = \frac{y-y'}{x-x'}

    = \frac{\frac{17}{48}-\frac{1}{6}}{3-2}

    = \frac{17-8}{48}

    = \frac{9}{48}=\frac{3}{16}

    Option D 3/16 is the answer.
