Answer:
96.72 m/min
Explanation:
The following data were obtained from the question:
Time (t) = 56.7 s
Distance (d) = 100 yard
Rate (R) =?
Next, we shall convert 56.7 s to minutes. This can be obtained as follow:
60 s = 1 min
Therefore,
56.7 s = 56.7 s × 1 min /60 s
56.7 s = 0.945 min
Next, we shall convert 100 yard to metre (m). This can be obtained as follow:
1 yard = 0.914 m
Therefore,
100 yard = 100 yard × 0.914 m /1 yard
100 yard = 91.4 m
Finally, we shall determine the rate of the swimmer as follow:
Time (t) = 0.945 min
Distance (d) = 91.4 m
Rate (R) =?
R = d/t
R = 91.4/0.945
R = 96.72 m/min
Thus the rate of the swimmer is 96.72 m/min
