Sven swims 5 laps in a pool 11 1/3 yards long. What total length does he swim? Convert the answer to a mixed number.(1 point)
To find the total length that Sven swims, we need to multiply the number of laps he swims by the length of each lap. Sven swims 5 laps and each lap is 11 1/3 yards long.
So, the total length he swims is 5 laps * 11 1/3 yards per lap = 55 5/3 yards.
To convert this to a mixed number, we divide the total length by the length of one whole part (3 yards).
55 5/3 yards = 18 whole parts + 5/3 parts = 18 2/3 yards.
Therefore, Sven swims a total length of 18 2/3 yards.
To find the total length Sven swims, we can multiply the number of laps he swims by the length of the pool.
Sven swims 5 laps in a pool that is 11 1/3 yards long.
So, the total length Sven swims is 5 x 11 1/3 yards.
To multiply a whole number by a mixed number, we need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
11 1/3 = (11 x 3 + 1) / 3 = 34/3
Now we can multiply:
5 x 34/3 = 170/3 = 56 2/3 yards
Therefore, Sven swims a total length of 56 2/3 yards.
To find the total length Sven swims, we need to multiply the number of laps by the length of each lap.
Sven swims 5 laps, and each lap is 11 1/3 yards long.
To multiply mixed numbers, we first convert them to improper fractions:
11 1/3 = (3 * 11 + 1) / 3 = 34/3
Now we can multiply:
5 * (34/3) = 170/3 yards
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (170) by the denominator (3):
170 ÷ 3 = 56 with a remainder of 2
So, the mixed number representing the total length Sven swims is 56 2/3 yards.
