Here is a Quantitative Reasoning question similar to the type of rate and unit conversion problems students may encounter on the DAT.
A swimmer swam 100 meters breaststroke in 57.13 seconds. How long would it take the swimmer to swim 200 yards in a 25 yard swimming pool if the swimmer loses 0.3 seconds per turn?
Answer and explanation are shown in the second slide.
Key DAT takeaway:
Always convert units first and determine the rate before scaling to the required distance. Then account for additional factors such as turns or delays that may add time.
These multi-step rate problems are common in DAT Quantitative Reasoning and require careful setup.
If you are preparing for the DAT or OAT, the Math Destroyer and the full DAT Destroyer series are designed to strengthen your problem-solving skills with targeted, exam-focused practice.
