Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the rate and time

The rate of sea - level rise is 0.13 inches per year and the time is 2.25 years.

Step2: Use the formula for change

The change in sea - level is given by the product of the rate and time. So, we calculate (0.13\times2.25). [0.13\times2.25 = 0.2925]

Answer:

0.2925 inches
