Answer:
the number of laps he swam the last day = 5 laps
Step-by-step explanation:
Total swimming = 558 laps
Number of days = 79⁵/₅₅₈ days
Hence the number of laps he swam the last day = 5 laps
Answer:
He swam 5 laps on the last day.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
•Total number of laps = 558 laps
•Laps per day = 7 laps
Since he swam an equal number (7 laps) everyday apart from the last day and we are looking for the the number of laps he swam the last day, we will divide the total number of laps by the number of laps each day, then the remainder will be number he did the last day.
Therefore,
[tex] \frac{558}{7} [/tex]
[tex] = 79\frac{5}{7} [/tex] i.e 79 remainder 5
Therefore, he swam for 80 days (79 equal days and 1 extra day) and we can say he swam 5 laps on the last day
