Question

Paula walked on the treadmill for 14 minutes. The machine told her she had a total of 938 strides. What was her rate in strides per minute?
A.
67 strides per minute
B.
65 strides per minute
C.
66 strides per minute
D.
68 strides per minute

Answer 1

To find Paula's rate in strides per minute, we can divide the total number of strides by the total time in minutes.

Total strides = 938
Total time = 14 minutes

Rate (strides per minute) = Total strides / Total time
Rate = 938 strides / 14 minutes
Rate = 66.2857 strides per minute

Rounding to the nearest whole number, Paula's rate is approximately 66 strides per minute.

Thus, the answer is:
C. 66 strides per minute.
