Answer :
In order to find the unit rate
in ft / sec of 300 yards / min.
We first have to elicit the conversion
values for each unit of measurement, this will allows us identify how much will
we multiply in order to get the goaled value.
Conversion values:
1. 1 yard = 3 feet
2. 1 minute = 60 seconds
Solution:
1. 300 yards x 3 feet/1 yard = 900 feet
2. 1 minute x 60 seconds / 1 minute = 60 seconds
Thus, 900ft/60sec
Conversion values:
1. 1 yard = 3 feet
2. 1 minute = 60 seconds
Solution:
1. 300 yards x 3 feet/1 yard = 900 feet
2. 1 minute x 60 seconds / 1 minute = 60 seconds
Thus, 900ft/60sec
Question: Find the unit rate in feet per second
300 yards over 1 minute
Answer: 15 ft per second
Reasoning: Since we are trying to find the unit rate of feet per second for 300 yards in one minute. 1 yard is 3 feet. 300 x 3= 900 Now divide 900 by 60 for the seconds. 900/60= 15
So 15 feet per second :)
