Answer :
Joel's unit rate, or average speed, for running 1500 meters in 5 minutes and 5 seconds is 4.918 meters per second (m/s) after converting the time to seconds and dividing the distance by the total time.
To find the unit rate of Joel's running speed, we first need to convert the given time into seconds. Joel ran 1500 meters in 5 minutes and 5 seconds, which is:
- (5 minutes times 60 seconds/minute) + 5 seconds = 300 seconds + 5 seconds = 305 seconds
Now, we divide the distance by the total time to find the speed in meters per second (m/s):
- 1500 meters / 305 seconds = 4.918 m/s
This is the unit rate or average speed at which Joel ran the 1500 meters.
