1 hr = 60 min

1 km = 1000 m

time = distance/speed

Sum the time taken for each leg of the swim, converting the km and m into the same units - I'll use metres:

→ time = 2500m / 5km/h + 500m / 10km/h

= 2500m / (5 × 1000m/h) + 500m / (10 × 1000m/h)

= 2500m / 5000 m/h + 500m/10000m/h

= 0.5 hr + 0.05 hr

= 0.55 hr

= 0.55 × 60 min

= 33 min

2500 m = 2.5 km; 2.5 km at 5 km/hr = 0.5 hours. Add 0.5 km/10km.hr = 0.05 hours; total is 0.55 hours

Speed is distance/time. You are given that the speed = 5 mph and the distance is 2500 miles.So, 5 mph = 2500 miles / time , or 5 mph * time = 2500 miles. Divide 2500 miles by 5 mph, and you get 500 hours.
