Hello!
So here we have a crew team with a split rate of 2min for 500m. They want the teams row rate in meters per min. So if they rowed a split time of 2min/500m then it took them 2min to row 500m so there’s the row rate. 500m/2min = 250m/1min= 250m/min
Hope this helps! Any questions please ask! Thank you!
