Answer:

unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094

Explanation:

Unit rate states that when rates are expressed as a quantity of 1

such as 4 feet per second or 6 miles per hour

Given: A speed skater covered 1500 meters in 106.43 seconds.

then,

In 1 seconds a speed skater covered =
$(1500)/(106.43) \approx 14.094$ meters

By definition of unit rate

unit rate =
(14.094 meters)/(1 seconds) ≈ 14.094 meters per second.

Therefore, the unit rate in meters per second is, 14.094
