Question: Jasmine swims 12 laps every afternoon, Monday through Friday. How many laps does she swim in five weeks? Think carefully first, then make a decision:
Jasmine swims 5 days a week. The number of laps per week is 12 laps / day * 5 days / week = 60 laps / week. In five weeks, she swims 5 weeks * 60 laps / week = 300 laps. So the answer is 300.
