In his last track meet, Carl ran the 100-meter dash in 13.2 seconds. What was Carl's approximate rate of speed for tha race?
100 m / 13.2 seconds
= appr 7.58 m/s
To find Carl's approximate rate of speed for the 100-meter dash, we need to divide the distance he ran by the time it took him. The formula to calculate speed is:
Speed = Distance / Time
In this case, Carl ran a distance of 100 meters in a time of 13.2 seconds. So, we'll substitute the values into the formula:
Speed = 100 meters / 13.2 seconds
To calculate the approximate rate of speed, we can divide 100 by 13.2 using a calculator or by performing long division.
So approximately, Carl's rate of speed for the race was 7.58 meters per second.
