Answer:

360 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello!

Let's first convert 250 seconds to minutes.

Since 1 minute is 60 seconds:

  • 250/60
  • 4 1/6

The runner ran 1500 meters in 4 and 1/6 of a minute

Now we need to find the unit rate using this equation:    [tex]\frac{\text{x}}{\text{1 minute}} = \frac{1500}{4\frac{1}{6}}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

  • Divide by 4 1/6
    4 1/6 x = 1500 minutes
  • x = 1500 / (25/6)
  • x = 360

360 meters

Answer:

[tex]\displaystyle 360\:m./min.[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

When converting from a smaller unit to a bigger unit, use division, especially because you are converting from [tex]\displaystyle m/s[/tex]to [tex]\displaystyle m./min..[/tex]First, you divide 250 by 60 to get 4⅙ minutes. You will then divide 1500 by 4⅙ to get this:

[tex]\displaystyle 1500\:metres\:in\:4\frac{1}{6}\:minutes \\ \\ 360 = \frac{1500}{4\frac{1}{6}} \\ \\ \\ \boxed{360\:m./min.}[/tex]
