Question

Drag and drop a rate or quantity from the box to each blank to calculate her rate in meters per minute, m/min 24miles/2 hours (answer choices use 3 in order) 100m/1km, 60 min/1 hr, 1km/ 1000m, 1 mile, 1.6km, 1 hr/ 60 min, 1km/100m, 1.6 km/ 1 mile, 1000m/1km

Answer 1

To calculate Nicole's rate in meters per minute, we need to convert the distance in miles to meters and the time in hours to minutes.

First, we need to convert 24 miles to meters:
1 mile = 1609.34 meters (approximately)

So, 24 miles = 24 * 1609.34 = 38624.16 meters

Next, we need to convert 2 hours to minutes:
1 hour = 60 minutes

So, 2 hours = 2 * 60 = 120 minutes

Now we can calculate Nicole's rate in meters per minute:
Rate = Distance / Time
Rate = 38624.16 meters / 120 minutes

So, Nicole's rate is approximately 322.03 meters per minute.
