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:
[tex]\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}[/tex]Therefore, the average number of yards he traveled per minute is 42 yards per minute.
ANSWER:
C. 42
