Question

A swimmer swims 0.007 km every day. Another swimmer swims 7×10^−3
km. Which statement is true?(1 point)
Responses

The first swimmer swims farther
The first swimmer swims farther

The second swimmer swims farther
The second swimmer swims farther

They swim the same distance
They swim the same distance

Cannot compare

Answer 1

To compare the distances swum by the two swimmers:

1. The first swimmer swims 0.007 km.
2. The second swimmer swims \( 7 \times 10^{-3} \) km.

Both numbers are equal because:

- \( 0.007 = 7 \times 10^{-3} \)

Therefore, the correct statement is:

**They swim the same distance.**
