sophia is training for a triathlon. she swims 40 meters in 50 seconds, moving at a constant speed. sophia wants to know her rate in meters per second.
complete the rate in meters per second.
?/? meters per second
To find Sophia's rate in meters per second, you divide the distance she swims by the time it takes her.
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 40 meters / 50 seconds
Rate ≈ 0.8 meters per second
Therefore, Sophia's rate is approximately 0.8 meters per second.
no put it in a fraction
Sure:
Rate = 40 meters / 50 seconds
Rate = 4/5 meters per second
Therefore, Sophia's rate is 4/5 meters per second.
simplify the rate.
?/5
4/5 can be simplified further:
4/5 simplified to 0.8/1 or 0.8.
