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.

the direct variation says that:

then the equation is of the form is given by:

            where k is the constant variation.

from the given table:

consider any value of x and m(x)=y

x = 2 and m(x)=y = 3

substitute these value in [1]; we have;

divide both sides by 2 we get;

⇒

check:

put x = -1 and m(x) = -1.5

substitute in the equation:

-1.5 = -1.5                   true

therefore, the function m(x) represents a direct variation

6 hours 48 min

step-by-step explanation:

68÷5=13.6

13.6×30=408min=6 hours 48 min.
