To find the total length Sven swims, we need to multiply the number of laps (5) by the length of each lap (11/13 yards).
5 * (11/13) = 55/13 yards.
To convert this fraction to a mixed number, we can divide the numerator (55) by the denominator (13).
55 ÷ 13 = 4 with a remainder of 3.
So the mixed number is 4 3/13 yards.
Therefore, the correct answer is D. 56 yards.
