Responses
A 3 strokes per hole
B 1 5/9 holes per stroke
C 4 strokes per hole
D 1 5/9 strokes per hole
To find the rate that represents the relationship between the number of strokes Kate took and the number of holes she played, we need to divide the total number of strokes by the total number of holes.
42 strokes รท 27 holes = 1.5556 strokes per hole
Approximating this to the nearest whole number, we can say that the rate is approximately 1 5/9 strokes per hole.
Therefore, the correct response is D) 1 5/9 strokes per hole.
