Question 16 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY
A constant rate would mean the battery loses the same percentage during each hour. Knowing it goes from 100% to 0% in 4 hours gives only the overall change, not whether the drain is steady throughout. Battery drain can vary based on usage, so the information does not establish a constant rate; that is why “No, because the battery drain can vary based on usage” is correct.
