Final answer:

Ms. Dominguez swims at a speed of 3.5 meters per second, calculated by dividing the distance of 210 meters by the time of 60 seconds.

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate how many meters Ms. Dominguez swims per second, we divide the total distance by the total time. The formula to find the speed is speed = distance/time.

The total distance swum is 210 meters, and the total time taken is 60 seconds. Using the formula:

  • Speed = 210 meters / 60 seconds
  • Speed = 3.5 meters/second

So, the correct answer is A. 3.5 m/s.
