Answer:

I think that Jessie swam the fastest

Explanation:

Jessie swam the fastest bc Reagan only swims 160 feet in half a minute and 110 is less than 160 and 20 + 20 =40 so if Jessies swimming speed and time was multiplied by 2, she would still swim faster!

(sorry Im not the best at math but I hope you can understand my logic lol)
