The men's world record for swimming 1500.0 m in a long course pool (as of 2007) is 14 min 34.56 s. At this rate, how many seconds would it take to swim 0.150 miles (1 mi

It will take 140.76 seconds to swim 0.150 miles.

Explanation:

Distance covered by man by swimming for t time= d

d = 1500.0 miles

t = 14 minutes + 34.56 seconds

1 min = 60 seconds

t = 14 × 60 seconds + 34.56 seconds = 874.56 seconds

Speed of the man while swimming = S =

If the man swims 0.150 miles with the same speed ,then the time taken by him be T.

0.150 miles = 0.150 × 1609.34 m = 241.401 m

(1 mile= 1609.34 meters)

T = 140.76 seconds

It will take 140.76 seconds to swim 0.150 miles.
