Answer:
6 ft/min
Step-by-step explanation:
Theres a neat trick to note; whenever you say per think of it as a fancy word for divide, because the label is always gonna be a/b (a per b)
Therefore,
the rate of feet per minute will be the feet divided by the minutes;
18 feet in 3 minutes = <u>18</u>/3 <u>ft</u>/min
Therefore the rate is 6 feet per minute.
<u>IF you need an explanation on what average rate implies:</u>
<em>Note; the word average is not prudent to answer as its extraneous, however if there was more data like "Cami descends 18 ft in 3 min and Nami descends 9 ft in 3 minutes; whats the average rate at which they descend" then you'd have to add the two rates up and divide by two.</em>
Hope this helps :)
One way is by using the same number
Reflection and translation
Average speed = (1/2) (beginning speed + ending speed)
= (1/2) ( 13 m/s + 30 m/s )
= (1/2) ( 43 m/s )
= 21.5 m/s
