A diver descended 20 feet in 5 seconds. What is the average rate per second that he traveled? Explain how you can use integer tiles to solve the problem and find the answer.
The diver is moving down, so he moved −20 feet. Start with 20 negative tiles and separate them into 5 equal groups. There are 4 negative tiles in each group, so he traveled at a rate of −4 feet per second.
