∻Solution by Steps∻ ‖ step 1 ⋮ Convert the given split rate to a rowing rate in meters per minute. ‖ ‖ step 2 ⋮ The split rate is $\frac{2 ext{ min}}{500 ext{ m}}$. To find the rowing rate in $\frac{ ext{m}}{ ext{min}}$, take the reciprocal of the split rate. ‖ ‖ step 3 ⋮ The reciprocal of $\frac{2 ext{ min}}{500 ext{ m}}$ is $\frac{500 ext{ m}}{2 ext{ min}}$. ‖ ‖ step 4 ⋮ Simplify the reciprocal to find the rowing rate: $\frac{500 ext{ m}}{2 ext{ min}} = \frac{500}{2} imes \frac{ ext{m}}{ ext{min}}$. ‖ ‖ step 5 ⋮ Using the asksia-ll calculation list, we know that $500 \div 2 = 250$. ‖ ‖ step 6 ⋮ Therefore, the rowing rate is $250 \frac{ ext{m}}{ ext{min}}$. ‖ ∻Answer∻ ⚹ $250 \frac{ ext{m}}{ ext{min}}$ ⚹ ∻Key Concept∻ ⚹Reciprocal of a rate⚹ ∻Explanation∻ ⚹To convert a split rate to a rowing rate, take the reciprocal and simplify.⚹◊What is the rowing rate in $\frac{m}{min}$ when given the split rate of $\frac{2 min}{500 m}$?⍭ Generate me a similar question◊
