Remark
You cannot give an answer to this unless you are give the fastest speed of a swimmer. That stat is not an easy one to decide upon. At what distance for example or do you eliminate distance? Since this is a college level question, I don't think it unreasonable that you have to research raw distance over fastest time.
The fastest speed I can find is 100 meters in 46.91 seconds. That means that the actual speed of the swimmer is 100 meters / 46.91 = 2.132 meters / second.
Givens
Set up a proportion with the numbers found and given
Speed of ball / speed of swimmer = 21.12 / 1
Speed of ball = x
Solution
Speed of swimmer = 2.132 m/s
x / 2.132 = 21.12 / 1 Multiply Both sides by 2.132
x = 21.12 * 2.132 / 1
x = 45.02 m/s
Answer
45.02 m/s

$27
2.65 x 2 (since he has to go both to and from work each day) = $5.30
Add the daily cost of the water bottle (1.45) to make his total cost for one day, which is 6.75
Multiply this number by 4 (because he goes 4 days a week) to get $27 for one week.
3 1/8 means 8 x 3 + 1 = 25/8
Step-by-step explanation:
4/5 x 25/8
= 4x25/5x 8
= 100/40
= 5/2
