Question

Michael walks 30 meters in 20 seconds. How many meters does he walk per second?

Answer 1

Answer: 1.5 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how many meters in 1 second we need to make a unit. We'll use fractions in this case...

30 meters     ÷ 20               1.5 meters

--------------                    =       -----------------

20 seconds   ÷   20              1 second

This is a fancy was of saying 1.5 meters per 1 second.
