Use the formula to help you answer the question below. Do not include unitsin your answer.Rate • TimeDistanceHow many km per hour must you swim if you want to cross a 3-km channel in2 hours?

Respuesta :

The formula for the rate is:

[tex]\text{Rate}=\frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}[/tex]

Substitute for the distance equal to 3 and the time equal to 2:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{Rate}=\frac{3}{2} \\ =1.5 \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, you should swim at 1.5 km per hour.
