Tristan swam around a lake 8 times. The distance around the lake was 0.25 miles. He swam at an average of 60 minutes per mile. Which explanation correctly tells how to calculate the time it will take Tristan to complete his swim? A. Step 1: Figure out the total number of miles Tristan swam (8 × 0.25). Step 2: Divide that distance into his average speed (60 ÷ 2). B. Step 1: Figure out the total number of miles Tristan swam (8 ÷ 0.25). Step 2: Multiply that distance by his average speed (32 × 60). C. Step 1: Figure out the total number of miles Tristan swam (8 ÷ 0.25). Step 2: Divide

Well, the thing is, The distance around the lake is 0.25 miles. So when Tristan swims around the lake four times, that's the equivalent of 1 mile. 1 mile is 60 minutes. Which means 8 times is the equivalent of 2 miles. The answer must be in minutes rather than hours.

@pandasurvive what I wrote was meant to be a hint for @KittyNoir not an opportunity for you to blurt out the answer.

Hero:

@KittyNoir what is the distance around the lake?

KittyNoir:

one moment plz

KittyNoir:

Can someone say A B C OR D PLZ

KittyNoir:

I am not good at steps to problems

Hero:

Think of 0.25 miles like 1 quarter. If you have 4 quarters, you have one dollar. So if you swim around the lake 4 times, how many miles is that?

KittyNoir:

this is a step to step question though I don't need an answer I need an A B C D answer

KittyNoir:

never mind
