Answer 2

Answer: The answer is (F). The word​ "per" means divided by because it implies division.

Step-by-step explanation: We are given six options out of which we are to select the correct one that explains the meaning of word 'per'.

Suppose we are talking about speed of a car as "k miles per minute".

It means that the car travels k miles in 1 minute. That is

`\textup{k miles per minute}=\frac{\textup{k miles}}{\textup{1 minute}}.`

If the car travels 25 miles in 5 minutes, then its speed will be

`S=\frac{25~\textup{miles}}{5~\textup{minutes}}=5~\textup{miles per minute}.`

Therefore, the word 'per' simply means division.

Thus, the correct option is (F).
