Answer:
since you know the amount he swims for 2 mins then divide that amount to get the amount for 1 minute. so 2=0.10 which means 1=0.5 since you halved it.

The first part is 8 x 40=320
8 x 7=56
320+56 and i am not sure what you have going on on the other half
Here are a few rules you need to know for this equation:
- Multiplying exponents of the same base:

- Dividing exponents of the same base:

- Turning a negative exponent to a positive one:

So this is our algebraic expression: 
Firstly, multiply 3^-4 and 3^2: 
Next, divide:

Next, turn the negative exponent into a positive one: 
<u>Your final answer is 3/2, or 1.5.</u>
Reduce each ratio to its minimum expression to find if they are equal.
35:28

10:8

Since both ratios reduce to 5:4, they are equivalent.
Another way to check a:b is equivalent to c:d, is that a*d = b*c
In this case, this will be true if 35 times 8 is equal to 10 times 28:

Since both products are equal, then the ratios are equivalent.
