Question

How fast is a swimmer going who completes a 1500 meter swim in 14 minutes and 41 seconds?

olympic fast.

Answer 3

If you want an approximation, 14:41 is about 15 minutes or one quarter on an hour.  Multiply 1,500 meters times 4 and you get 6,000 meters (6 kilometers) an hour.  A kilometer equals .62 miles, so it is a little less than 4 miles an hour.

If you want an exact answer it is 6.13 kilometers per hour or 3.8 miles per hour.
