Answer: Approximately 0.08333 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

To get this answer, divide the distance over the time duration

rate = distance/time

rate = (5 meters)/(60 seconds)

rate = (5/60) meters per second

rate = 0.08333 meters per second approximately

Let me know if you need the rate in some other units such as "miles per hour" or "kilometers per hour". The units "meters per second" is often used in physics.
