Did you know?
Did you know that Ana can swim at a rate of 3/8 miles in 1/3 hour? To determine how many minutes it would take her to swim one mile at this rate, we can use the concept of unit rate. Converting 1/3 hour to minutes gives us 20 minutes. So, in 20 minutes, Ana can swim 3/8 miles. Since we want to find the time it would take her to swim one mile, we can set up a proportion: 3/8 miles / 20 minutes = 1 mile / x minutes. Cross-multiplying, we get 3x = 8*20, which simplifies to 3x = 160. Dividing both sides by 3, we find that x = 160/3 minutes. Rounding this to the nearest minute, we find that it would take Ana approximately 53 minutes to swim one mile at this rate.
