7. Four friends each swim 3/5
of a mile in a relay. What is the total distance they swim?
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we need to multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile, so the total distance is (3/5) x 4 = <<(3/5)*4=2.4>>2.4 miles.
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 2.4 miles.
it has to be a fraction
Apologies for the confusion.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile.
To find the total distance, we need to multiply 3/5 by 4 (the number of friends):
(3/5) x 4 = 12/5
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 12/5 miles or 2 2/5 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we first need to find the distance each friend swims.
Given that each friend swims 3/5 of a mile in the relay, we can calculate the distance each friend swims by multiplying 3/5 by 4.
Thus, the distance each friend swims is (3/5) * 4 = 12/5 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we multiply the distance each friend swims by 4, since there are four friends swimming.
Therefore, the total distance the four friends swim is (12/5) * 4 = 48/5 miles.
