Question

Xavier can swim at a constant speed of 5/3 meters/second.

He is trying to qualify for the National Swim Meet. To qualify, he must complete a 100-meter race in 55 seconds.

Will Xavier be able to qualify? Why or why not?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Well we can find how far he travels in 55 seconds if he swims at constant speed of 5/3 meters.

5/3 times 55 = approx. 91.66 meters

Therefore Xavier will not quality for the national Swim Meet because he didn't swim 100 meters in 55 seconds
