An object in orbit around Earth travels about 468 kilometers in 60 seconds. What is its unit rate?

1 answer

To find the unit rate, we need to divide the total distance traveled by the time it took.

The total distance traveled is 468 kilometers.

The time it took is 60 seconds.

Therefore, the unit rate is 468 kilometers / 60 seconds = 7.8 kilometers per second.

So, the unit rate is 7.8 kilometers per second.
