Question

Pete saw that he was 200 yards from shore when he dove out of the boat. It took him 49 seconds to swim the first 50 yards. At that rate, how much longer will it take to reach the shore?

Answer 1

Answer:

147 seconds to get to the shore(after the 49 seconds)

Step-by-step explanation:

If Pete swam at a constant speed of 50 yards/49 seconds, you just have to multiply that by four, to get 200 yards. If you want the total time from his boat to shore, that is 196. If you want how much longer it would be, it would be 147 seconds

for minutes, just divide by 60
