25 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's set up a proportion using the following setup:

minutes/laps=minutes/laps

It takes 10 minutes to swim 2 laps.

10 minutes / 2 laps = minutes/laps

We don't know how long it will take to swim 5 laps. Therefore, we can say it takes x minutes to swim 5 laps.

10 minutes/ 2 laps= x minutes / 5 laps

10/2= x/5

We want to find out what x is. Therefore, we need to get x by itself.

x is being divided by 5. The inverse of division is multiplication. Multiply both sides by 5.

5*(10/2)=(x/5)*5

5*10/2=x

5*5=x

25=x

It takes 25 minutes to swim 5 laps.
