Question

Matt needs to swim 8 meters in 25 seconds yo qualify as a state swimer. Which unit rate describes the speed Matt needs to swim​

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

8 meters in 25 seconds

Seconds = S

Rewrite

8 = 25S

Divide both sides of the equation by 25

S = 0.32

Matt needs to swim 0.32 meters per second

D

Hope this helps :)

Answer 2

Answer:

Option D, 0.32 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:  Find the unit rate at which Matt needs to swim

Make an equation to represent the scenario.

25m = 8

Step 2:  Solve for m by dividing both sides by 25

25m / 25 = 8 / 25

m = 0.32

Step 3:  Check

To check, you can multiply the number of second, 25, by the meters per second to see if you get the total meters, 8.

0.32 * 25

8

So, the answer is correct :)

0.32 means that Matt needs to swim 0.32 meters per second to qualify as a state swimmer.

Answer:  Option D, 0.32 meters per second
