Answer: Michael

========================================================

Step-by-step explanation:

Divide the number of laps over the time duration.

  • Michael = 10/6 = 1.67 laps per minute approximately.
  • Xavier = 12/8 = 1.50 laps per minute exactly.

We see that Michael has the slightly faster average speed, since he's able to swim more laps in 1 minute.
