The intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
Let the function y = f(x).
Then the average rate of change will be
Average rate of change = (y₂ - y₁) / (x₂ - x₁)
On a busy construction site at 1:00 p.m. the sound level is 124 dB, while at 4:00 p.m. it is 100dB.
Then the intense as the sound of the construction site at 4:00 p.m. is the sound at 1:00 p.m. will be
⇒ (100 – 124) / 100
⇒ -0.24
Then the intensity of the sound decreases by 24% at construction site from 4:00 p.m. to 1:00 p.m.
