Answer:

416.84 m

Explanation:

First Step:

Multiple 312.63 by 1/3

312.63*1/3=104.21

Second Step:

Add 312.63 to 104.21

312.63+104.21=416.84

In this question, we have been provided that Evan swims 1/3 times farther than Drake, thus, the total distance covered by Evan will be equal to the sum of 312.63 m and the 1/3rd of 312.63 m. Thus, at first we will calculate the one third of the distance and then add them up to get our final answer.

  • There are two teammates in a high school team
  • Drake swims 312.63 m
  • Evan swims 1/3 times farther than Drake


✤ \: \underline{ \underline{ \frak{To~Find :-}}} \\ \\

  • The distance travelled ( swim ) by Evan


✤ \: \underline{ \underline{ \frak{Solution :-}}} \\ \\

Calculating the one - third,


\sf \longrightarrow (1)/(3) \: of \: 312.63 \: m \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow (1)/(3) * 312.63 \: m \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow (1)/( \cancel3) * \cancel{312.63} \: m \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow 1 * 104.21 \: m \: \: \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow 104.21 \: m \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\

Thus,


\sf \longrightarrow Distance~covered~by~Evan =312.63 \: m + 104.21 \: m \\ \\ \\ \sf \longrightarrow Distance~covered~by~Evan =416.84 \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \: \\ \\

Thus, the distance covered by Evan is 416.84 m.
