A falcon flies 800,000 meters in 4 hours. Use the formula d = rt, where d represents distance, r represents rate, and t represen ts time, to answer the following questions. Show your work. Part A: Rearrange the distance formula, d = rt, to solve for rate. (2 points)
Part B: Find the falcon's rate in meters per hour. (3 points)
Part C: Find the falcon's rate in kilometers per hour. (3 points)
Part D: Which unit, meters, or kilometers, makes more sense to use in this scenario, and why? (2 points)
1 answer:
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
A)
d = r* t Divide both sides by t
d/t = r
r = d/ t
B)
d = 800000
t = 4 hours
r = 800000 / 4
r = 200000 meters/hour
C
r = 200000 meters / hour * [ 1 km / 1000 meters]
r = 200 km / hr
D
I imagine you are more familiar (especially if you live anywhere but the states) with 200 km/ hour. I am very doubtful that any bird can keep that up for 4 hours. 200 km / hour is equal to about 125 miles / hour. There are few places that will allow a car to travel at that speed. You should be using km/hour because you (should) be more familiar with the units.

P = 5
I am not sure if this is correct. However, P is used to represent the addresses and there are 5 addresses. Therefore p = 5.
