To find the total distance the four friends swim, we need to multiply the distance each friend swims by the number of friends.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile, so the total distance is (3/5) x 4 = <<(3/5)*4=2.4>>2.4 miles.
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 2.4 miles.

it has to be a fraction
Apologies for the confusion.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile.
To find the total distance, we need to multiply 3/5 by 4 (the number of friends):
(3/5) x 4 = 12/5
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 12/5 miles or 2 2/5 miles.
Each friend swims 3/5 of a mile.
To find the total distance, we need to multiply 3/5 by 4 (the number of friends):
(3/5) x 4 = 12/5
Therefore, the four friends swim a total distance of 12/5 miles or 2 2/5 miles.
