1 answer

To find the total length that Sven swims, we need to multiply the number of laps he swims by the length of each lap. Sven swims 5 laps and each lap is 11 1/3 yards long.

So, the total length he swims is 5 laps * 11 1/3 yards per lap = 55 5/3 yards.

To convert this to a mixed number, we divide the total length by the length of one whole part (3 yards).

55 5/3 yards = 18 whole parts + 5/3 parts = 18 2/3 yards.

Therefore, Sven swims a total length of 18 2/3 yards.
