Answer
### a) 45 min### b) 4 km/h### c) 20 m/min### d) 80 km/h
Explanation
## Step 1: Finding the Multiplier for (a)### We have
laps in
minutes. We want to find how many minutes it takes for
laps. Since
, we multiply the time by
as well.
.## Step 2: Calculating the Unit Rate for (b)### We have
km in
hours. To find the unit rate (km/h), we divide the distance by the time:
.## Step 3: Converting Seconds to Minutes for (c)### We have
meters in
seconds. Since there are
seconds in a minute, and
seconds is
of a minute, we have
meters in
minute. To find the rate in meters per minute, we multiply the distance by
:
. Alternatively, since
, we can set up a proportion:
. Cross-multiplying gives
, so
m/min.## Step 4: Converting Minutes to Hours for (d)### We have
km in
minutes. Since there are
minutes in an hour,
minutes is
of an hour. We have
km in
hour. To find the rate in km/h, we multiply the distance by
:
. Alternatively, since
, we can set up a proportion:
. Cross-multiplying gives
, so
km/h.
