To find Courtney's speed as a unit rate (in centimeters per minute), we can take the total distance she walked and divide it by the total time it took her to walk that distance.
Courtney walked 33 centimeters in 6 minutes. So, we calculate her speed as follows:
\[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} = \frac{33 \text{ cm}}{6 \text{ min}} \approx 5.5 \text{ cm/min} \]
Thus, her speed as a unit rate is 5.5 centimeters per minute.
Now, to find how far Courtney walked in 1 minute, we already found out that she walks approximately 5.5 centimeters in 1 minute, given her calculated speed.
So, to summarize:
- Her speed as a unit rate is 5.5 centimeters per minute.
- Courtney walked 5.5 centimeters in 1 minute.
