If I swam 30 meters in 16 seconds how would I express this in a fraction? 16/30 or 30/16 and why?
depends on whether you want your speed, or how long it takes to swim a meter.
30/16 m/s or 16/30 s/m
To express the time it took you to swim 30 meters in a fraction, you would use the format: time/distance. In this case, the time is 16 seconds, and the distance is 30 meters.
So the correct fraction to represent this situation would be 16/30. The numerator of the fraction represents the time, and the denominator represents the distance.
