A yellow jacket can fly 4.5 meters in 9 seconds. find the unit rate in meters per second .

It's your turn now. I'll be glad to check your answer.

But it only flies 4.5 meters in 9 seconds. How can it fly 4 or 5 times faster in only 1 second.

Try again for a reasonable answer.

How did you get that answer?

i was divide 9 by 4

Divide 9 by 4.5

9 / 4.5 = 2

2m per second

To find the unit rate in meters per second, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

In this case, the distance traveled is 4.5 meters and the time taken is 9 seconds. To find the unit rate, we can divide the distance by the time:

Unit rate = Distance ÷ Time

Unit rate = 4.5 meters ÷ 9 seconds

Calculating this, we get:

Unit rate = 0.5 meters per second

Therefore, the unit rate in meters per second for the yellow jacket's flight is 0.5 meters per second.
