    703.58 s

    Explanation:

    Convert the time to seconds and distance to meters:

    14 min 34.56 s = 14 * 60 + 34.56 = 874.56 s

    0.750 mi * (1609 m / mi) = 1206.75 m

    Now write a proportion:

    874.56 s / 1500 m = x / 1206.75 m

    x = 703.58 s

    It would take the swimmer 703.58 seconds.
