The rate that is equivalent to the rate Paula walked is 1/20 mile/minute OR 0.05 mile/minute
From the question, we are to determine the rate which is equivalent to the rate Paula walked
Using the formula,
[tex]Rate = \frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
From the given information,
Distance = 1/12 mile
Time = 5/3 minutes
Putting the parameters into the formula, we get
[tex]Rate =\frac{\frac{1}{12} }{\frac{5}{3} }[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{1}{12} \div \frac{5}{3}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{1}{12} \times \frac{3}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{3}{60}[/tex]
[tex]Rate = \frac{1}{20}[/tex] mile/minute
Hence, the rate that is equivalent to the rate Paula walked is 1/20 mile/minute OR 0.05 mile/minute
