Question

Answer 1

Given:

Distance Pieter sailed = 1260 yards

Time taken to sail = 30 minutes

Let's solve for the average number of yards he traveled per minute.

To find the average number of yards he traveled per minute, apply the formula:

$\begin{gathered} A=\frac{\text{distance in yards}}{time\text{ in minute}} \\ \\ A=\frac{1260}{30}\frac{\text{yards}}{\text{minutes}} \\ \\ A=42\text{ yards per minute} \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the average number of yards he traveled per minute is 42 yards per minute.

ANSWER:

C. 42
