Answer:
training for a swim meet, Logan swam 750 meters in 1/3 of an hour.
His swimming partner, Mila, swam 2/3 of Logan's distance in 1/4 of an hour
To find:
What is Mila's average swimming speed?
Solution:
The distance swam by Logan = 750 m
The distance swam by Mila = \frac{2}{3}
3

of Logan's distance = \frac{2}{3} \times 750 = 2 \times 250 = 500

×750=2×250=500
The time taken by Mila to swim 500 m = \frac{1}{4}

of an hour = \frac{1}{4}\times 60 = 15\:minutes

×60=15minutes .... [since 1 hr = 60 mins]
We know the formula as:
\boxed{\bold{Speed = \frac{Distance}{Time} }}
Speed=
Time
Distance
Now, substituting the values in the formula above to find the speed of swimming of Mila,
The average swimming speed of Mila = \frac{500\:m}{15\:min} = 33.34\:m/min
15min
500m
=33.34m/min
Thus, Mila's average swimming speed is → 34.44 m/min.
