Across Lake Taupo
A long distance swimmer takes 80 strokes to swim
100 metres. He wants to swim across Lake Taupo, a
distance of 4 200 metres.
How many strokes will it take for him to swim across
the lake?
If he can swim at a rate of 60 strokes per minute,
how many minutes could he swim across the lake in?
Can he expect to beat the 2015 champion swimmer who crossed the lake in a
time of 51 minutes and 48 seconds?
