Answer 1

I can answer part c

Answer 2

it's not possibly because if the total time he spends on exercising is 50 mins and he spends 20 mins longer on back strokes than butterfly then its not possible for him to spend 45 mins doing butterfly

Answer 3

because 45 45+20 is 65 and he didnt spend 65 mins doing exercise he spent 50 so he could have only spent 30 mins doing butterfly
