If Tim can swim 50 meters in 60 sec. But he slows down 12 sec the remaining race. How long does it take Tim to swim a 400 meter race.
I'm not quite sure what you are asking, but I will do my best to answer you.
I am assuming that "slows down 12 sec the remaining race" means that each 50m was 12 seconds slower than the original 50m.
There are eight 50m in 400m, with the first 50m completed in 60 seconds and the remaining 7 units of 50m done in 72 seconds each.
I'll let you do the calculations. I hope this helps. Thanks for asking.
To find the total time it takes for Tim to swim a 400-meter race, we need to add up the times for each 50-meter segment.
The first 50 meters is completed in 60 seconds, as given in the question.
For the remaining 7 segments of 50 meters, each is 12 seconds slower than the original 50 meters. So, each segment takes 60 seconds (original time) + 12 seconds (slowed down time) = 72 seconds.
To find the total time, we can add up the individual segment times:
60 seconds (first segment) + 7 segments * 72 seconds each = 60 seconds + 504 seconds = 564 seconds.
Therefore, it takes Tim 564 seconds to swim a 400-meter race.
