Question

Susan can swim 105 meters in 70 seconds. At this rate, how far can she swim in 30 seconds?

Answer 1

45 meters per 30 seconds

Explanation:

To figure this question out you first gave to find the unit rate of meters per second by dividing 105 by 70.

105 divided by 70 = 1.5

So Susan can swim 1.5 meters per second.

Then we multiply that amount by 30 to find the number of meters she can swim in 30 seconds.

1.5 x 30 = 45 meters

So, in conclusion, Susan can swim 45 meters per 30 seconds
