Ocean sunfishes are well-known for rapidly gaining a lot of weight on a diet based on jellyfish.
The relationship between the elapsed time, $t$, in days, since an ocean sunfish is born, and its mass, $M(t)$, in milligrams, is modeled by the following function:
###$M(t)=3\cdot \left(\dfrac{81}{49}\right)\^{\Large t}$
**Complete the following sentence about the rate of change in the mass of the sunfish.**
*Round your answer to two decimal places.*
The mass of the sunfish increases by a factor of $\dfrac97$ every [[☃ numeric-input 1]] days.
