Solution

To calculate the time it would take to swim across the lake, you need to divide the distance by the speed.

Step 1: Identify the given values. The distance (d) is 600 meters and the speed (v) is 1.5 m/s.

Step 2: Use the formula for time (t) which is distance divided by speed. So, t = d/v.

Step 3: Substitute the given values into the formula. t = 600m / 1.5 m/s.

Step 4: Calculate the time. t = 400 seconds.

So, it would take 400 seconds to swim across the lake at a speed of 1.5 m/s.
