to practice for an Ironman competition John swim 0.86 kilometers each day for three weeks how many meters did he swim in those 3 weeks

Verified Answer :

1 kilometers =1000 meters
0.86km=0.861000=860m
John swam 860 meters each day.
1 week = 7 days
3weeks=3
7=21
21*860=18060 m
Therefore he swam 18060 meters in those three weeks.

John swam 18060 meters for those 3 weeks.

Further explanation

Some units of length and its conversion that need to be recalled are:

\(1 ~ foot = 30.48 ~ cm\)

\(1 ~ inch = 2.54 ~ cm\)

\(1 ~ foot = 12 ~ inches\)

\(1 ~ mile = 1609.34 ~ metres\)

\(1 ~ yard = 0,9144 ~ metres\)

\(1 ~\mu m = 1 \times 10^{-6} ~ m\)

Let us now tackle the problem !

Given:

John swim 0.86 kilometers each day for three weeks.

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = 0.86 ~ \texttt{km/day} \times 3 ~ \texttt{weeks}\)

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = 0.86 ~ \texttt{km/day} \times (3 \times 7) ~ \texttt{days}\) → 1 week = 7 days

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = 0.86 ~ \texttt{km/day} \times (21) ~ \texttt{days}\)

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = 18.06 ~ \texttt{km}\)

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = 18.06 \times 1000 ~ \texttt{m}\) → 1 km = 1000 m

\(\texttt{Total Distance} = \boxed {18\ 060 ~ \texttt{m}}\)

Conclusion :

John swam 18060 meters for those 3 weeks.
