the gravity coaster travels 340 meters in 10 seconds. the hurricane coaster travels 190 meters in 5 seconds both coasters travel at a constant speed mario wants to ride the faster roller coaster.
how fast does the gravity coaster travel? find the unit rate
the gravity coaster travels ? meters per second
To find the speed of the gravity coaster in meters per second, we need to calculate the unit rate.
Unit rate = distance / time
For the gravity coaster:
Unit rate = 340 meters / 10 seconds
Unit rate = 34 meters/second
Therefore, the gravity coaster travels at a speed of 34 meters per second.
how fast does the hurricane coaster travel? find the unit rate
the hurricane coaster travels ? meters per second
To find the speed of the hurricane coaster in meters per second, we need to calculate the unit rate.
Unit rate = distance / time
For the hurricane coaster:
Unit rate = 190 meters / 5 seconds
Unit rate = 38 meters/second
Therefore, the hurricane coaster travels at a speed of 38 meters per second.
