Angela enjoys swimming and often swims at a steady pace to burn calories. at this pace, angela can swim 1,700 meters in 40 minutes. what is angela's unit

1700÷40= 42.5 

step one: you divide 40 into 1700
step two: you find the closest number that goes into 1700 which is 4 so 40×4= 160
step three: then you subtract 1700 from 160 and you'll get 100
step four: then you'll find the closest number that goes into a 100 and that will be 2 so 40×2=80
step 5: you'll then subtract 100 from 80 and you'll get 20 
step 6: you when then add a decimal and add an extra 0 to 1700 so you will now have 17000 you will bring down the 0 to make 20 into 200 and you will find the closest number that will go into 200 which will be 5 cause 40×5= 200 so you're answer will be 42.5units
