Long answer question : a submarine descended 3/5 of a kilometer in 1/5 of an hour. what was the submarine's rate of descent in kilometers per hour ? plz show work and explain: )

3 km per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

You can deduct the answer instinctively since both the distance and the time of the descent are expressed in /5... so you can just get rid of the '/5' in both instances to get the result: 3 kilometers in 1 hour.

But you can also find it easily using the cross-multiplication system:

Then you multiply each side by 5 to get

3 km = 1 hour

Thus the rate of descent is of 3 km per hour.

the answer is 3/2 and for decimal: 1.5
