Question

If Mrs. Kurz swims half the length of the pool in 1/4 of a minute, how many lengths does she swim in 1 minute?

a) 1
b) 2
c) 3
d) 4

Answer 1

Mrs. Kurz swims 8 lengths in 1 minute.

Step-by-step explanation:

To determine how many lengths Mrs. Kurz swims in 1 minute, we need to find the number of lengths she swims in 1/4 of a minute and then multiply it by 4. Since she swims half the length of the pool in 1/4 of a minute, we can conclude that she swims 2 lengths in 1/4 of a minute.

To find the number of lengths she swims in 1 minute, we multiply 2 by 4, which gives us 8. So, Mrs. Kurz swims 8 lengths in 1 minute.
