Answer 1

To find the total length that Sven swims, we need to multiply the number of laps by the length of each lap.

Sven swims 5 laps.
The length of each lap is 11 1/3 yards.

To multiply a whole number and a mixed number, we first need to convert the mixed number to an improper fraction.
11 1/3 = (11 * 3 + 1) / 3 = 34/3

Now, we can multiply the number of laps by the length of each lap:

5 * 34/3 = (5 * 34) / 3 = 170/3 yards

The total length that Sven swims is 170/3 yards. So, the correct answer, converted to a mixed number, is 56 2/3 yards.

Therefore, the correct answer is: 56 2/3 yards.
