write the ratio of the two measurements in the unit indicated ( the unit rate)

Question

Roger Bannister ran 5,280 feet in 4 minutes
(feet per minute) (HINT 4 min = ?

Answer 1

To find the unit rate (feet per minute) of Roger Bannister's running, we first convert 4 minutes into minutes:

4 minutes = 4 minutes (no conversion needed).

Now, to find the feet per minute, we divide the total distance by the total time:

\[ \text{Feet per minute} = \frac{\text{Total distance (feet)}}{\text{Total time (minutes)}} \] \[ \text{Feet per minute} = \frac{5280 \text{ feet}}{4 \text{ minutes}} = 1320 \text{ feet per minute} \]

So, Roger Bannister ran at a rate of 1320 feet per minute.
