Question 16 • CMS 2026-2027 NC Math 1 CREDIT RECOVERY

Read the scenario. A cell phone battery drains from 100 percent to 0 percent over 4 hours while playing videos continuously. Is one quantity changing at a constant rate relative to another in this scenario?

Answer
A
No, because other apps may be open on the phone.
B
No, because the battery drain can vary based on usage.
C
Yes, because the battery life decreases over time.
D
Yes, because the phone is being used continuously.

Explanation

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.
