A speed skater covered 1500 meters in 106.43 seconds.Whats the unit rate in meters per second?CAN SOMEONE HELP ASAP
Answer:
unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094
Step-by-step explanation:
Unit rate states that when rates are expressed as a quantity of 1
such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour
Given: A speed skater covered 1500 meters in 106.43 seconds.
then,
In 1 seconds a speed skater covered = \(\frac{1500}{106.43} \approx 14.094\) meters
By definition of unit rate
unit rate = \(\frac{14.094 meters}{1 seconds}\) ≈ 14.094 meters per second.
Therefore, the unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094
