Question

Maddy consistently swims a 1/4 of a 200 meter freestyle in 45 seconds. If she i continues this pace, how long would i take her to swim a full 200 meter freestyle?

Answer 1

`3` minutes (or `180` seconds)

Explanation:

It should take her `4` times longer to swim the entire distance as it took her to swim `1/4` of the distance.

`45 " seconds"xx4=180 " seconds" = 3 " minutes"`
