To calculate the rate in meters per minute, we need to convert the distance from miles to meters and the time from hours to minutes.
First, we need to convert 24 miles to meters. We know that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers, and 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters. So, 24 miles is equal to (24 miles) * (1.6 km/ 1 mile) * (1000 m/ 1 km) = 38,400 meters.
Next, we need to convert 2 hours to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in 1 hour, 2 hours is equal to (2 hours) * (60 min/ 1 hr) = 120 minutes.
So, the rate is 38,400 meters per 120 minutes.
We can simplify this rate by dividing both the numerator and denominator by their greatest common factor, which is 240.
So, the simplified rate is (38,400 meters/ 240 minutes).
The correct answer choices to fill in the blanks are:
- 38,400 meters in the numerator,
- 120 minutes in the first blank,
- and 240 minutes in the second blank.
