    Mr Stanley

    Step-by-step explanation:

    You want to figure out the time it takes to do 1 lap for each person:

    Mr Smith 1 Lap time = 3 : 5 = 0.6 minutes per lap

    Mr Moton 1 Lap time = 4 : 6 = 0.666 ... minutes per lap

    Mr Stanley 1 Lap time = 2 : 4 = 0.5 minutes per lap

    Mr. Stanley

    Step-by-step explanation:

    L. C. M. of 5,6,4=60

    2 | 5-6-4

    | 5-3-2

    L. CM.=2*5*3*=60

    let the laps be 60

    Smith can run 60 laps = (3/5) * 60=36 min.

    Moton can run 60 laps = (4/6) * 60=40 min.

    Stanley can run 60 laps = (2/4) * 60=30 min.

    so Stanley is the fastest swimmer.
