A athlete runs 40 ft in 5 minutes. i have to find the rate

help please

per min...

40ft/5min= 8ft/min

To find the rate at which the athlete is running, you need to calculate the distance covered per minute. In this case, the athlete runs 40 feet in 5 minutes.

To find the rate per minute, divide the total distance (40 feet) by the total time (5 minutes).

So, the rate at which the athlete is running is 8 feet per minute.
