Given:

The distance swam by Haley in swimming = 25 m

Time is taken swimming = 22 second

Required:

To find the time taken in swimming 200 m.

Step-by-step explanation:

The speed is given by the formula:


speed=(distance)/(time)

The speed of the Haley in swimming is:


\begin{gathered} s=(25)/(22) \\ s\approx1.13636\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}

The time is taken to cover 200m is:


\begin{gathered} time=\text{ }(distance)/(speed) \\ t\imaginaryI me=(200)/(1.13636) \\ t\imaginaryI me=176.00056\text{ sec} \end{gathered}

Thus the time is taken in minutes as:


\begin{gathered} =(176.00056)/(60) \\ \approx2.93\text{ miute} \end{gathered}
