Question

Amy can swim 6 laps in 9 minutes. Each lap is 50 meters.

"At that rate, how many minutes would it take Amy to swim 800 meters? Enter the answer in the box.
minutes

Answer 1

I'm pretty sure the answer is 24.024

Explanation:

300meters = 9 minutes

300+300=600

2/3 of 300=24minutes

800÷50=16

800÷33.3=24.024 minutes

Answer 2

• 24 minutes

----------------------

Since Amy can swim 6 laps in 9 minutes, then it takes:

• 9/6 = 1.5 minutes to swim one lap.

Number of laps in 800 m:

• 800/50 = 16 laps

Time to swim 16 laps:

• 16*1.5 = 24 min
