Question

Angela enjoys swimming and often swims at a steady pace to burn calories. At this pace, Angela can swim 1,700 meters in 40 minutes. What is Angela's unit rate? What is the race unit?

Answer 1

Well, if you are talking how much she can swim per minute, you have to divide 1700 by 40 to get the unit per minute, 1700 being the meters she can swim, and 40 are the minutes she takes to swim. So, 1700 divided by 40 would be 42.5 meters per minute. So Angela's unit is 42.5 meters per minute. YOU'RE WELCOME :D
