You and a friend are racing each other to swim 500 meters. You complete 50 meters in 45 seconds. Your friend completes 150 meters in 2 minutes. Who won the race and by how much?? no links

Answer 1

your friend by 50 seconds

Explanation:

150 divided by 3 equals to 50 so you would also divide 120 minutes by 3 to get 40

You: 50 meters per 45 seconds

Friend: 50 meters in 40 seconds

50 times 10 equals 500 meters so we will multiply both number of seconds by 10

You:45*10=450

Friend: 40*10=400

450>400 so the friend swims the fastest

450-400= is 50 seconds

So the friend swims the fastest by 50 seconds
