The answer is C Kevin. You can come to this conclusion by dividing number of laps by minutes, so you can find out how many laps each person does per minute. Tyler does 1.6667 laps per minute, Jose does 1.5 laps per minute, and Kevin does 2 laps per minute. Since Kevin does the most laps per minute, it means he’s the fastest swimmer.
