Sagot :

Given that Fred can swim 60 laps in 100 minutes.

Let's find the number of laps he can swim in 40 minutes.

60 laps = 100 minutes

x laps = 40 minutes

Where x represents the number of laps he could swim in 40 minutes.

Let's solve for x.

Therefore, we have:

[tex]\begin{gathered} \frac{100}{60}=\text{ }\frac{40}{x} \\ \\ 100x\text{ = }2400 \\ \\ x\text{ = }\frac{2400}{100}\text{ = 24} \end{gathered}[/tex]

Therefore, in 40 minutes, Fred can swim 24 laps

ANSWER:

24 laps
