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 they swim, we need to multiply the individual distance swam by the number of friends.
Distance swam by each friend = 3/5 mile
Number of friends = 4
Total distance swam = (3/5) mile x 4 friends
Total distance swam = 12/5 mile
Total distance swam = 2.4 miles
Therefore, the total distance they swim is 2.4 miles.
7. Four friends each swim 3/5 of a mile in a relay. What is the total distance they swim?
1 1/2 miles
3 miles
2 2/5 miles
12 3/5 miles
To find the total distance they swim, we need to multiply the individual distance swam by the number of friends.
Distance swam by each friend = 3/5 mile
Number of friends = 4
Total distance swam = (3/5) mile x 4 friends
Total distance swam = 12/5 mile
Total distance swam = 2 2/5 miles
Therefore, the total distance they swim is 2 2/5 miles.
Are you sure?
Apologies for the incorrect response earlier. Let's re-calculate the total distance they swim.
Distance swam by each friend = 3/5 mile
Number of friends = 4
Total distance swam = (3/5) mile x 4 friends
Total distance swam = 12/5 mile
Total distance swam = 2 and 2/5 miles
Therefore, the correct total distance they swim is 2 and 2/5 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we need to multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends.
Distance each friend swims = 3/5 mile
Number of friends = 4
Total distance = (Distance each friend swims) multiplied by (Number of friends)
= (3/5) x 4
= 12/5
= 2 and 2/5 miles
Therefore, the total distance the four friends swim is 2 and 2/5 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, you need to multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends. Let's break down the problem step by step:
1. Calculate the distance each friend swims: Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile.
- The distance each friend swims is 3/5 mile.
2. Determine how many friends there are: There are four friends in total.
- The number of friends is 4.
3. Multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends to find the total distance:
- Total distance = Distance per friend × Number of friends
- Total distance = (3/5 mile) × 4
- Total distance = 12/5 mile
So, the four friends will swim a total distance of 12/5 mile.
