Elana can swim 12 laps in 8 minutes. Elana has 32 minutes to swim. Can she complete 50 laps in this time? Please explain answer.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The answer would be No. She would only be able to swim 48 laps. To get to this answer you have to find the unit rate ( I think that's what it's called, please forgive me if I'm wrong ). To do this you have to divide 12 by 8 to get to 1.5 You then multiply 1.5 by 32 to find how many laps she can swim in 32 minutes.

Step-by-step explanation:

12 divided by 8 = 1.5

1.5 X 32 = 48

A = 48
