Question

Harold swam 6 2/5 km in 2 hours how far could Harold swim in 5 hours

Answer 1

The distance that Harold swim in 5 hours should be 16 km.

Given that,

• Harold swam 6 2 ÷ 5 km in 2 hours.
• And, the number of hours given is 5 hours.

Here we assume the distance be x

So,

$6\frac{2}{5}$ =6.4

Now

$\frac{6.4}{2}=\frac{X}{5}$

2x=(6.4)(5)

2x=32

Now Divide by 2 on both sides  

Thus,  

X=16 km

Therefore, we can conclude that the distance that Harold swim in 5 hours should be 16 km.
