Bulan rows on a crew team. her team rows their boat at a split (rate) of 2 min/500 m.
what is bulan’s team’s rowing rate in m/min ?

250

Step-by-step explanation:

If Bulan's team rows their boat at a rate of

2

minutes per

500

meters, they row at a rate of

1

minute per

250

meters. We know this because

1

minute is

1

2

of

2

minutes, and in this time, they will have to have rowed

1

2

the distance they would row in

2

minutes (

500

m).

1

2

of

500

is

250

.

So, we now have the rate in min/m.

If, every

1

minute, Bulan's team rows

250

meters, this means that every

250

meters, they have rowed for

1

minute.

Bulan's team's rowing rate in m/min is

250

m/

1

min.
