Even swims 5 laps in a pool 11 1/3 yards long what total length does he swim convert the answer to a mixed number
To find the total length that Even swims, we need to multiply the distance of each lap by the number of laps he swims.
We can write the distance of each lap as a fraction: 11 1/3 yards = 34/3 yards (since 1/3 of a yard is 1 foot, and there are 3 feet in a yard, so 11 1/3 yards is equal to 11 yards and 1/3*3 = 1 yard).
Then, we multiply this distance by the number of laps: 34/3 * 5 = (34*5)/3 = 170/3 yards.
To convert this improper fraction to a mixed number, we divide the numerator (170) by the denominator (3): 170 ÷ 3 = 56 with a remainder of 2.
Therefore, the total length that Even swims is 56 2/3 yards.
