Monica swims the 200, 400, and 1,000 meter freestyle swimming events. At the last swimming meet she swam the 200m in 1 minute 4 seconds, 400m in 2 minutes 31 seconds, and the 1,000 meter in 7 minutes 11 seconds. What were her average speeds in all these events (meters/second)?

a) 200 meters = 3.125 meters/seconds

b) 400 meters = 2.649 meters per second

c ) 1000 meters = 2.320 meters per second

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for Average speed = Distance/ Time

Monica swims the 200, 400, and 1,000 meter freestyle swimming events.

We are to calculate: average speeds in all these events (meters/second).

At the last swimming meet she swam

For the 200m

Time 1 minute 4 seconds

60 seconds = 1 minutes

Hence, Time = 60 + 4 = 64 seconds.

Average speed = 200m/64 seconds

= 3.125 meters/seconds

For 400m

Time = 2 minutes 31 seconds

1 minute = 60 seconds

2 minutes = 60 × 2 = 120 seconds

Total time = 120 + 31 seconds = 151 seconds

Hence, Speed = 400m/151 seconds

= 2.649 meters per second

For 1,000 meter

Total time = 7 minutes 11 seconds.

1 minute = 60 seconds

7 minutes = 60 × 7 = 420 seconds

Total time = 420 + 11 seconds = 431 seconds

Hence, Speed = 1000m/431 seconds

= 2.3201856148 meters per second

Approximately = 2.320 meters per second

Therefore her speed were

a) 200 meters = 3.125 meters/seconds

b) 400 meters = 2.649 meters per second

c ) 1000 meters = 2.320 meters per second

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
