Question

Teresa wrote this expression to describe the total distance she was going to swim during two swim classes.

s + 3

Which situation could be described by this expression?


Teresa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim 3 times farther during the second class.


Teresa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim 3 laps during the second class.


Teresa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim the same distance for 3 classes.


Teresa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim 3 fewer laps during the second class.

Answer 1

I think the answer is the second one, Tessa wasn't sure how far she would swim during the first class. She would swim 3 laps during the second class. The question is confusing, because the equation s+3 is supposed to be the DISTANCE she swam in 2 classes. The problem didn't specify that distance equals laps, but I think the answer is correct
