B. Jana can swim 50 meters in the time it takes Micah to swim 75 meters
C. To swim 200 meters, it takes Jana 120 seconds and Micah 104

Answer 1

The statement that is true about the ratios shown is that Jana can swim 150 meters in the time it takes Micah to swim 125 meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The statement that is true about the ratios shown is:

Option A. Jana can swim 150 meters in the time it takes Micah to swim 125 meters

To determine this, we need to compare the ratios of distance to time for Jana and Micah. We can calculate the ratios for both:

Jana: 150 meters / 90 seconds = 1.67 meters/second

Micah: 125 meters / 65 seconds = 1.92 meters/second

Since Micah has a higher ratio of distance to time, it means he swims faster than Jana. Therefore, Option A is the correct statement.
