Question

the womens 4 by 100 meter medley relay swimming team finished in second place. In the relay, each member swims 100 meters using a different swimming stroke. The names and ages of the team members are jenny,19, asia,22, and destiny,39.
The age difference between the oldest and youngest swimmer on this team is 20 years. Suppose they had broken up the distance of 400 meters by age. how far would each person swim in the relay?

PsyDAG · Answer

Each swimmer is supposed to swim 100m in one stroke. Given "4 by 100," is one swimmer going to swim two laps? Where is the fourth swimmer?

What method are you using to break "up the distance of 400 meters by age"? The youngest gets to swim 200 meters? Each person swims 133.3 meters? From your data, I find this very confusing.
