Question

A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate, and t represents time, to answer the following questions. Show your work.
Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate. (2 points)

Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour. (3 points)

Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour. (3 points)

Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometers, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why? (2 points)

Answer 1

r= d/t

200,000 m/hr

200km/hr

km makes more sense
