Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\tt t\approx 38.89 \ s}[/tex]
Explanation:
Time can be found by dividing the distance by the speed.
[tex]t=\frac{d}{s}[/tex]
The distance is 350 meters.
The speed is 9 meters per second.
[tex]d= 350 \ m \\s= 9 \ m/s[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]t=\frac{350 \ m}{9 \ m/s}[/tex]
Divide. Note that the meters or "m" will cancel each other out and the seconds or "s" will move to the numerator.
[tex]t=\frac{350 }{9 \ s}[/tex]
[tex]t=\frac{350 \ s}{9}[/tex]
[tex]t=38.8888889 \ s[/tex]
Round to the nearest hundredth. The 8 in the thousandth place tells us to round the 8 to a 9.
[tex]t \approx38.89 \ s[/tex]
It will take about 38.89 seconds to swim 350 meters at 9 meters per second.
