A swimming pool is 50 meters long. If I swim 60 lengths of the pool each day for one week (7 days) how many kilometers did I swim?
Would the answer be 1050km? 50m * .05km * 60 *7 = 1050km
in one km, there r 1000 m.
so first u hav to find out how many m u wud sum....
50*60*7=21000
so u have to divide that by 1000 to get how many km
21000/1000= 21 km
so ur answer is 21 kilometers
To calculate the distance you swim in kilometers, you need to convert the given length of the pool from meters to kilometers and also consider the number of lengths you swim per day and the number of days you swim.
First, convert the length of the pool from meters to kilometers. Since 1 kilometer is equal to 1000 meters, you divide the length of the pool (50 meters) by 1000 to get the length in kilometers: 50 meters / 1000 = 0.05 kilometers.
Next, multiply the length of the pool in kilometers (0.05 kilometers) by the number of lengths swum in a day (60 lengths) to calculate how far you swim in a day: 0.05 kilometers * 60 lengths = 3 kilometers.
Finally, multiply the distance swum in a day (3 kilometers) by the number of days in a week (7 days) to find the total distance swum in one week: 3 kilometers * 7 days = 21 kilometers.
So, if you swim 60 lengths of a 50-meter pool each day for one week (7 days), you would have swum a total of 21 kilometers, not 1050 kilometers.
