l = 7 in

w = 11 in

h = 5 in

Surface area = 2*(lw +wh +hl)

= 2 * 167

Jason watched a caterpillar move 16 feet in 8 minutes. Jason says that the caterpillar's unit rate is 0.5 foot per minute. Is Ja

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Jason is incorrect.

The caterpillar's rate is 2 ft/min

Step-by-step explanation:

The rate of motion is defined as the quotient between the distance covered (in our case 16 feet) divided by the time it took to cover that distance (in our case 8 minutes)

Then, the rate is:

$rate=\frac{distance}{time} = \frac{16\,\,ft}{8\,\,min} = 2\,\frac{ft}{min}$
