1 answer

To find the total length Sven swims, we first need to calculate the total distance covered in 5 laps.

One lap is 11 1/3 yards long, so for 5 laps, the total distance is:
5 laps * 11 1/3 yards = 5 * 34/3 yards = 170/3 yards

Therefore, Sven swims a total length of 170/3 yards, which is equivalent to 56 2/3 yards.

So the answer is B. 56 2/3
