Watson goes scuba diving and descends 45 feet in 5 seconds. What is the unit rate that represents his descent?

Easy! Simply divide 45 by 5, and you will have your answer.

45 / 5 = 9

He dives 9 feet per second. Hope this helps! :)

You are going to divide 45 feet by 5 seconds, which will get you 9 ft/second.

Good luck and hope this helps! :)
