Question

Mateo has already swam 4/5 of the 2000 meters he is swimming today. If he continues swimming at a pace of 3/4 of a meter per second, which expression shows the amount of time it will take him to swim the remaining distance. A) 2000 × 4/5 × 3/4. B) 2000 × 1/5 × 3/4. C) 2000 × 1/5 ÷ 3/4 ​

Answer 1

C, so basically what I thought was, calculate 1/5 of 2000 meters which equals 400, then, he swims at a pace of 3/4 meters per second so you divide it to see how long it will take for Mateo to swim to the end.

Hope this helps!
