To find the unit rate of meters per second (m/s) for a car traveling a distance in a given amount of time, you divide the distance traveled in meters by the time it took in seconds.
So, for a car that travels 616 meters in 22 seconds, the unit rate would be:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{616 \text{ meters}}{22 \text{ seconds}} \]
\[ \text{Speed} = 28 \text{ meters per second} \]
The car is traveling at a unit rate of 28 meters per second.
What is the unit rate for meters per second if a car travels 616 meters in 22
seconds
