A diver descended 20 feet in 5 seconds. What is the average rate per second that he traveled? Explain how you can use integer tiles to solve the problem and find the answer. Pls help

Respuesta :

Answer:

The diver is moving down, so he moved −20 feet. Start with 20 negative tiles and separate them into 5 equal groups. There are 4 negative tiles in each group, so he traveled at a rate of −4 feet per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer:

4 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

We can create a proportion:

[tex]\frac{20}{5} = \frac{x}{1}[/tex]

Cross multiply:

[tex]20\cdot1=20\\\\20\div5=4[/tex]

So he's travelling at a rate of 4 feet per second.

Hope this helped!
