Question

A swimmer swam 48 kilometers in d days. What is the value of D if the swimmer swim at an average of 3.2 km daily

Answer 1

It took 15 days for the swimmer to swim 48 km.

Explanation:

Given data

Traveled distance (D): 48 km

Elapsed days (d): ?

Distance swum per day (D/d): 3.2 km/day

We can use proportions to find the days elapsed. The used conversion factor is 3.2 km/day.

48 km × (1 day / 3.2 km) = 15 day

It took 15 days for the swimmer to swim 48 km.

Answer 2

The average is computed by dividing the total by the number of contributors.
48/d = 3.2
48/3.2 = d . . . . . multiply by d/3.2
15 = d

The value of d is 15.
