The rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr
The given parameters are:
Changes =1 3/4 lb to 1/4 lb
Time = 1/4 hr.
The rate the ice changes is calculated as:
Rate = Change/Time
So, we have
Rate = (1/4 lb - 1 3/4 lb)/(1/4 hr)
Evaluate the difference
Rate = (-1 1/2 lb)/(1/4 hr)
Evaluate the quotient
Rate = -3/8 lb per hr
Hence, the rate at which the ice changes is -3/8 lb per hr
