Finding the Average Rate of Change of a Force

The electrostatic force $F,$ measured in newtons, between two charged particles can be related to the distance between the particles $d,$ in centimeters, by the formula $F (d) = \frac{2}{d ^{2}} .$ Find the average rate of change of force if the distance between the particles is increased from 2 cm to 6 cm.
