By definition, the speed is given by the quotient between the distance traveled and the time it takes to travel that distance. We have then that the expression for speed is as follows
 v = d / t
 where
 d: distance
 t: time
 Substituting
 v = (90feet) / (5s) = 18feets / s
 answer
 the average rate of the airplane model, in feet per second was 18feets / s
Kalahira
18 feet per second: To find the average rate in feet per second, divide distance (90 feet) by time (5 seconds) to get 18 feet per second.
