To determine Gabriela's swimming rate, we can calculate her speed in meters per minute. She swims 100 meters in 20 minutes, so her rate can be expressed in the units of meters per minute.
To find her rate:
\[
\text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{100 \text{ meters}}{20 \text{ minutes}} = 5 \text{ meters per minute}.
\]
Thus, the units used to determine Gabriela's rate are **meters per minute**.
