Question

Michael Phelps swam 13 laps. If 4 laps equal 1 mile, how many miles did he swim?

Answer 1

`\text{In this question, we're finding how many miles Michael swam}\\\\\text{We know that he swam 13 laps}\\\\\text{We also know that 4 laps is equivalent to 1 mile}\\\\\text{To find how many miles he swam, divide 13 by 4}\\\\13/4=3.25\\\\\boxed{\text{Answer: 3.25 miles}}`

Answer 2

3.25 miles

Explanation:

4 divided by 1 is 1/4, so 1/4 mile is one lap

1/4 times 13 is 13/4

13/4 is 3.25 miles
