Question

Taylor can swim 1/2 mile in 1/3 hour at a constant this rate,how fast does Taylor swim in miles hour

A) 1/6 miles per hour
B) 1 mile per hour
C) 1.5 miles per hour
D) 2 miles per hour

Answer 1

To find how fast Taylor swims in miles per hour, divide the distance Taylor swims by the time it takes.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find how fast Taylor swims in miles per hour, we can use the formula speed = distance/time.

In this case, Taylor swims 1/2 mile in 1/3 hour, so we divide the distance (1/2 mile) by the time (1/3 hour):

speed = 1/2 mile / 1/3 hour = 1/2 mile * 3/1 hour = 3/2 miles per hour.

So Taylor swims at a speed of 1.5 miles per hour (option C).
