To be able to solve the rate of Julia's running per minute, we can divide 1000 meters by 9 mins.


\begin{gathered} \text{rate}=\frac{distance}{\text{time}} \\ \text{rate}=\frac{1000\text{meters}}{9\text{minutes}} \\ \text{rate}=111.11\text{ meters/minute} \end{gathered}

Therefore, Julia runs approximately 111.11 meters per minute.
