Steve repairs elevators. when he is called to a job he uses the stairwell to go to the floor on which the elevator is located. in the modis building, he climbs 22 steps for every 15 feet of horizontal travel. in the sears tower, he climbs 17 steps for every 7 feet of horozontal travel.

part b: what is the rate of change for each stairwell.

part b: which stairwell will be easier to climb? explain reasoning

Step-by-step explanation:

In Modis Building;

He climbs 22 steps for every 15 feet of horizontal travel.

The rate of change here = 22 ÷ 15 = steps per foot of horizontal travel.

In the Sears Tower;

He climbs 17 steps for every 7 feet of horizontal travel.

The rate of change here = 17 ÷ 7 = 2 steps per foot of horizontal travel

PART B:

The stairwell in the Sears Tower is easier to climb because one covers smaller distances for every step
