To calculate the speed at which Tyler swims in miles per hour, we need to find the distance covered in 1 hour.
Tyler can swim 1/2 mile in 1/3 hour, so we can set up a proportion:
(1/2 mile) / (1/3 hour) = x miles / 1 hour
To solve for x, we can cross-multiply:
x = (1/2 mile) * (3/1 hour) = (3/2) miles
Therefore, Tyler swims at a speed of 3/2 miles per hour.
Tyler can swim 1/2 mile in 1/3 hour at a constant speed how fast does Tyler swim in miles per hour
