Question

Haley participates in the freestyle event for the school swimming team the fastest she can swim 25meter and 22 seconds that rate How many minutes could she swim the 200 m freestyle events

Answer 1

Given:

The distance swam by Haley in swimming = 25 m

Time is taken swimming = 22 second

Required:

To find the time taken in swimming 200 m.

Explanation:

The speed is given by the formula:

$speed=\frac{distance}{time}$

The speed of the Haley in swimming is:

$\begin{gathered} s=\frac{25}{22} \\ s\approx1.13636\text{ m/s} \end{gathered}$

The time is taken to cover 200m is:

$\begin{gathered} time=\text{ }\frac{distance}{speed} \\ t\imaginaryI me=\frac{200}{1.13636} \\ t\imaginaryI me=176.00056\text{ sec} \end{gathered}$

Thus the time is taken in minutes as:

$\begin{gathered} =\frac{176.00056}{60} \\ \approx2.93\text{ miute} \end{gathered}$
