Tom swims a 1/2 mile every 1/4 hour. How far will he swim in one hour?

2 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

if he swims 1/2 a mile in a 1/4 of an hour (15 minutes) then you will divide an hour by 4 to see how many times he swam. you should get 4 1/4 hours and then you will multiply 1/2 by 4.

in a nut shell you multiply 1/2 by 4 because he swam over the time of an hour.

2 mlies per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

She miles 1/2 mile every 15 minutes or 1/4 hours so

1/2*4=2 miles per hour
