Answer: 1008 metres
Explanation:
speed of swimmer = 2.8 m/s
Time taken = 6minutes
(since speed is in metres per second, convert time in minutes to seconds
If 1 minute = 60 seconds
6 minute = 6 x 60 = 360 seconds
distance = ?
Since, speed is the distance covered divided by time taken in seconds, thus
Speed = distance / time
Distance = speed x time taken
distance = 2.8m/s x 360
= 1008 metres
Thus, the swimmer cover a distance of 1008 metres
