The mens world record for swimming 1500.0 m in a long course pool is 14 min 34.65 s. At this rate, how many seconds would it take to swim 0.550 miles (1 mile=1609 m)

Question

aaronq · Answer

find the rate:    $\dfrac{1500m}{34.65s}$=rate

convert miles to meters (to have the same distance units)

and use the same rate to find the time it would take to travel said distance.

            rate=$\dfrac{distance}{time}$
