QuestionAva swims 70 yards in 2 minutes. How far can she swim in 5 minutes? Calculate: d=70 yards2 min×5 mind = \frac{70 \text{ yards}}{2 \text{ min}} \times 5 \text{ min}.

Studdy Solution

STEP 1

Assumptions1. Ava swims at a constant rate. . She swims70 yards in minutes.

STEP 2

First, we need to find the rate at which Ava swims. We can do this by dividing the distance she swims by the time it takes.
Rate=DistanceTimeRate = \frac{Distance}{Time}

STEP 3

Now, plug in the given values for the distance and time to calculate the rate.
Rate=70yards2minutesRate = \frac{70\, yards}{2\, minutes}

STEP 4

Calculate the rate at which Ava swims.
Rate=70yards2minutes=35yards/minuteRate = \frac{70\, yards}{2\, minutes} =35\, yards/minute

STEP 5

Now that we have the rate at which Ava swims, we can find the distance she would swim in5 minutes. We can do this by multiplying the rate by the time.
Distance=Rate×TimeDistance = Rate \times Time

STEP 6

Plug in the values for the rate and the time to calculate the distance.
Distance=35yards/minute×5minutesDistance =35\, yards/minute \times5\, minutes

STEP 7

Calculate the distance Ava would swim in5 minutes.
Distance=35yards/minute×5minutes=175yardsDistance =35\, yards/minute \times5\, minutes =175\, yardsYou would expect Ava to swim175 yards in5 minutes.
