Question

Cara is swimming in a river. She can swim downstream up to a maximum speed of 66 meters per-minute. If she is swimming downstream at half of her maximum speed, how far will she swim in 13 minutes?

Answer 1

429 meters
Half of 66 is 33 so that’s half of her maximum speed.
You then take 33 and times it by 13.
66/2=33
33x13=429
Hope this helps!

Answer 2

It would be 429 because in the question it said “ if she was swimming downstream of HALF of her maximum speed, how far will she swim for 13 minutes” so first you would divide 66 by 2 and get 33 then you would multiply 33 by 13 to get you’re answer.
