To find out how far the duck swims in total, we can follow these steps:
-
Calculate the distance the duck swims each day:
- The pond is 36 meters long.
- The duck swims 4 lengths of the pond each day.
- Distance swum each day = 4 lengths × 36 meters = 144 meters.
-
Calculate the distance swum in a week:
- There are 7 days in a week.
- Distance swum each week = 144 meters/day × 7 days = 1008 meters.
-
Calculate the distance swum in 4 weeks:
- Distance swum in 4 weeks = 1008 meters/week × 4 weeks = 4032 meters.
Therefore, the duck swims a total of 4032 meters in 4 weeks.
