Amir swims 2/3 of a lap in 1/2 minute. Let n be his time, in minutes, for one full lap. Which multiplication equation represents this situation?
  • A. (1/2)n = 2/3
  • B. (2/3) × (1/2) = n
  • C. (2/3)n = 1/2
  • D. (2/3)n = 1
3.
A swimmer takes 5/8 minute per lap. Which calculation finds how many laps the swimmer covers in 1 1/4 minutes?
  • A. 5/4 × 8/5 = 2
  • B. 5/4 × 5/8 = 25/32
  • C. 4/5 × 5/8 = 1/2
