Question

Sebastian swam laps every day in the community swimming pool. He swam an hour each day, 5 days each week, for 12 weeks. In

that time, he swam 1,800 laps. What was his average rate in laps per hour?

Answer 1

0.25

Explanation:

1,800 laps ÷ 12 weeks = 150 laps

150 laps ÷ 5 days each week = 30 laps per day

30 laps per day ÷ 120 hours per week = 0.25 per hour
