To Swim with no current, Tim can swim for 1.33 hours.

To be able to solve this question, we need to understand the relation between speed, distance, and time.

What is the speed?

The speed of an object or substance is the distance covered by the object within a specified period of time.

Mathematically;

[tex]\mathbf{speed = \dfrac{distance}{time}}[/tex]

From the given information;

  • Tim swims a distance of 3 m with a time = 1 hour
  • If he swims 4 miles against the current,
  • Then he can swim 10 miles with the current.

To Swim with no current, Tim can swim for:

[tex]\mathbf{\dfrac{4 \ miles}{x \ hours}= \dfrac{3\ miles}{1 \ hour}}[/tex]

x = 1.33 hours
