Question

Turner is training for a triathlon and needs to swim a certain distance for today's workout. If he swims at the rec center pool, he will complete a 150-meter warmup and then swim laps in a lane that is 30 meters long. If Turner swims at the indoor pool at his gym, he will complete a 250-meter warmup, plus a main set that consists of 20 meters per lap. If Turner swims the correct number of laps, he can complete the same distance in either pool. How many laps will that take?
a
13 LAPS
b
10 LAPS
c
34 LAPS
d
9 LAPS

Answer 1

B. 10 Laps

150 + (10 x 30) = 450 M
250 + (10 x 20) = 450 M
