A pond is 36m long and a duck swims 4 lengths of the pond each day for 4 weeks how far does the duck swim

1 answer

To find out how far the duck swims in total, we can follow these steps:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
