Question

Math problem :Belvedere swam 35 laps in 1 2 / 3 hours. Find his swimming rate in laps

per hour.

Answer 1

21 laps per hour

Explanation:

2/3 = 20/30

20/30 × 2 = 40/60

1 and 2/3 = 1 hour 40 mins

60 + 40 = 100 mins

35 (laps) = 100 (mins)

÷10

3.5 = 10

×6

21 = 60

21 laps in 1 hour

so 21 laps per hour
