It’s four because you subtract 2 minus negative 2
Answer:
250
Step-by-step explanation:
If Bulan's team rows their boat at a rate of
2
minutes per
500
meters, they row at a rate of
1
minute per
250
meters. We know this because
1
minute is
1
2
of
2
minutes, and in this time, they will have to have rowed
1
2
the distance they would row in
2
minutes (
500
m).
1
2
of
500
is
250
.
So, we now have the rate in min/m.
If, every
1
minute, Bulan's team rows
250
meters, this means that every
250
meters, they have rowed for
1
minute.
Bulan's team's rowing rate in m/min is
250
m/
1
min.
