Given:
grapes = 2 1/2 pounds
apples = 1 1/4 times as many pounds as grapes.

For easier computation, let us convert these fractions into numbers with decimal places.

2 1/2 pounds = 2.50 pounds
1 1/4 times = 1.25

Apples = 2.50 pounds * 1.25 = 3.125 pounds of apples.

Or we still use fractions. We need to convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions.

2 1/2 = 5/2
1 1/4 = 5/4

5/2 * 5/4 = 5*5 / 2*4 = 25/8 is simplified to 3 1/8 pounds

Answer:

the best option would be to swim

Step-by-step explanation:

Hello! To solve this problem we must follow the following steps.

1. remember the concept of uniform motion with constant speed, which establishes the following equation

t=\frac{X}{V}

where

t=time

x=distance

V=speed

2. Calculate the time it takes to swim and calculate the time it takes to walk

walking:

x=10mile

v=5milles/h

t=\frac{10}{5} =2h

swimming

x=1mile

v=3milles/h

t=\frac{1}{3} =0.3h

3. Compare both results and choose the one with the least time.

as you can see it takes less time swimming, so this would be the best way
