Answer 1

Answer:

Earl runs 1.5 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation: 60 divided by 40= 1.5

Answer 2

Answer:

1.5 meters/s

Step-by-step explanation:

Since he runs 60 meters in 40 seconds, we can divide 60 by 40 to get how quickly he runs in meters/s. 60/40 = 6/4 = 3/2 = 1.5, so Earl runs 1.5 meters per second.
