Question

Michael swims 10 laps in six minutes Xavier swims 12 laps in eight minutes who’s average lap speed is greater

Answer 1

Answer: Michael

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number of laps over the time duration.

• Michael = 10/6 = 1.67 laps per minute approximately.
• Xavier = 12/8 = 1.50 laps per minute exactly.

We see that Michael has the slightly faster average speed, since he's able to swim more laps in 1 minute.
