Answer:

3.33m/s

Step-by-step explanation:

The perimeter of a rectangle is

= 2(L + W)

L = 500m

W = 200m

= 2(500 + 200)

= 2(700)

= 1400m

If it takes Rebekah 420 s to run the entire perimeter of her property.

Her average speed in meters per second rounded to the nearest hundredth is = Distance/Time

= 1400m/420s

= 3.3333333333 m/s

Approximately = 3.33m/s
