A pond is 36m long. A duck swims 4 lengths of the pond each day. How far does the duck swim in 4 weeks
I need the answer
To find out how far the duck swims in 4 weeks, we first need to determine the distance it swims in one day.
Given that the pond is 36 meters long and the duck swims 4 lengths of the pond each day, we can calculate the distance the duck swims in one day by multiplying the length of the pond by the number of lengths the duck swims:
Distance in one day = 36 meters/length × 4 lengths/day
= 144 meters/day
Now that we know the distance the duck swims in one day, we can find out how far it swims in 4 weeks.
There are 7 days in a week, so the total number of days in 4 weeks is:
4 weeks × 7 days/week = 28 days
To calculate the total distance the duck swims in 4 weeks, we can multiply the distance it swims in one day by the number of days:
Total distance in 4 weeks = Distance in one day × Number of days
= 144 meters/day × 28 days
= 4032 meters
Therefore, the duck swims a total of 4032 meters in 4 weeks.
