Question

If phil can swim 15 meters in 20 sec, how far can he swim, at the same speed, in 2 minutes. ​

Answer 1

Based on this question, you can say 45 m in one minute multiply that by two and your answer should be 90

Answer 2

Explanation:

The correct answer for this question is Phil can swim 90 meters in 2 minutes.

According to the given question, Phil can swim 15 meters in 20 second.

So, in 1 second, Phil can swim: 15 meters/20 second=0.75 m/s

In other words, the speed of swimming of Phil is 0.75 m/s.

So, in 2 minutes i.e. in 120 second, the distance Phil can travel:

Distance= Speed x Time

Distance= 0.75 m/s x 120 s

Distance= 90 meters.

Hence, Phil swimmed 90 meters in 2 minutes. The speed of Phil is 0.75 m/s which can be used to determine further distances travelled with time if the motion is uniform.
