Four friends each swim 3/5 of a mile and a relay what is the total distance they swim
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we need to multiply the distance they individually swim by the number of swimmers.
Therefore, the total distance is (3/5) * 4 = 12/5 miles.
So, the four friends swim a total of 12/5 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, you need to multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends.
Given that each friend swims 3/5 of a mile, the total distance is calculated as follows:
(3/5) mile x 4 friends = (12/5) mile
However, since we want to express the distance in miles, we can simplify the fraction:
(12/5) mile = 2.4 miles
Therefore, the total distance the four friends swim is 2.4 miles.
To find the total distance the four friends swim, we first need to find the distance each friend swims and then add them together.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile, so we can start by multiplying this distance by the number of friends:
(3/5) * 4 = 12/5
Now we have the distance that each friend swims: 12/5 of a mile. To find the total distance, we add these distances together:
12/5 + 12/5 + 12/5 + 12/5 = 48/5
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 48/5 mile, which is equivalent to 9.6 miles.
