Kate played 27 holes of golf and had a total of 42 strokes

Which rate best represents the relationship between the number of strokes took and the number of holes she played

3 strokes per hole
1 5/9 holes per stroke
4 strokes per hole
1 5/9 strokes per hole

To find the correct rate, we need to determine how many strokes Kate took per hole.

To do this, we divide the total number of strokes by the number of holes played:

42 strokes / 27 holes = 1.5555... strokes per hole

Rounded to the nearest whole number, Kate took approximately 1 5/9 strokes per hole.

Therefore, the rate that best represents the relationship between the number of strokes taken and the number of holes played is 1 5/9 strokes per hole.
