Answer 1

1500/106.43 divide by each other and the answer is 14.10

Answer 2

Answer:

unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate states that when rates are expressed as a quantity of 1

such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour

Given: A speed skater covered 1500 meters in 106.43 seconds.

then,

In 1 seconds a speed skater covered = $\frac{1500}{106.43} \approx 14.094$ meters

By definition of unit rate

unit rate  = $\frac{14.094 meters}{1 seconds}$ ≈ 14.094 meters per second.

Therefore, the unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094
