Sven 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 Sven swims, we need to multiply the length of the pool by the number of laps he swims.
First, change 11 1/3 yards to an improper fraction.
11 1/3 yards = 34/3 yards.
Then, multiply the length of the pool (34/3 yards) by the number of laps he swims (5 laps).
34/3 yards * 5 laps = (34/3) * 5 laps
= (34 * 5) / 3 laps
= 170/3 laps
= 56 2/3 laps.
Therefore, Sven swims a total length of 56 2/3 yards.
