Question

Robert can swim 5/8 of a mile in 2/5 of an hour. How long would it take him to swim 3
and a half miles?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

$\frac{5}{8} \div \frac{2}{5} = \frac{33}{8} \\ 3.5 \times \frac{33}{8} = 14.4375miles$

We shall divide the given mile with the given time. Then multiple it with 3.5 miles to get the answer.
