Question

Hey math can you help

Answer 1

So if we’re talking about meters per second, you would need to divide.

-17.5/5 = -3.5

NOW YOU THINK THATS YOUR ANSWER BUT NOO. You CANNOT have a negative second. So you take the absolute value of -3.5 and your answer would be 3.5

The rate of the anchor is 3.5 meters per second.
