Answer:
- 1.75 m/s
- 1.60 m/s
- greater than
Explanation:
A unit rate is a rate in which the denominator is 1.
(42 m)/(24 s) = (x/1) m/s = 1.75/1 m/s = 1.75 m/s
In short, you need to figure out how the rate is being expressed (A per B), then divide the quantity of A by the quantity of B.
(16 m)/(10 s) = 16/10 m/s = 1.6 m/s
The unit rate of 42 m in 24 s is 1.75 m/s .
The unit rate of 16 m in 10 s is 1.60 m/s .
The unit rate for 42 m in 10 s is greater than the unit rate for 16 m in 10 s.
