QUESTION 7
Find the rate as a ratio of distance to time. Round to the nearest hundredth where appropriate.
\[
245 \mathrm{~m}, 35 \mathrm{sec}
\]
\( 42 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\sec } \)
\( 35 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{sec}} \)
\( 245 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\sec } \)
\( 7 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\sec } \)

Answer

\( \text{Rate} = 7 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{sec}} \)

Steps

Step 1 ：\( \text{Rate} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \)

Step 2 ：\( \text{Rate} = \frac{245 \mathrm{~m}}{35 \mathrm{~sec}} \)

Step 3 ：\( \text{Rate} = 7 \frac{\mathrm{m}}{\mathrm{sec}} \)
