The amount of time it takes a swimmer to swim a race is inversely proportional to the average speed of the swimmer. A swimmer finishes a race in 25 seconds with an average speed of 6 feet per second. Find the average speed of the swimmer if it takes 50 seconds to finish the race.

9514 1404 393

  3 feet per second

Step-by-step explanation:

If the time is multiplied by 2, the inverse relationship tells you the speed is multiplied by 1/2.

  (1/2)(6 ft/s) = 3 ft/s

The swimmer's average speed is 3 ft/s.

answer: city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

step-by-step explanation:

since we have given that

total annual rainfall a city record = 40 inches

this year, total rainfall recorded = 37.6 inches

number of inches of rainfall   is needed to match the record of 40 inches is given by

hence, city needs 2.4 inches of rainfall more to match the record of 40 inches.

yes the total will be same because in both of them the expression.is rearranged but their sign remains the same hence it hss just been shuffled
