    10.16 minutes

    Explanation:

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

    The speed of record swimming is distance over time

    v = 1500 / 874.56 = 1.715 m/s

    0.65 miles = 0.65 * 1609 = 1045.85 m

    The time it takes to swim 0.65 miles (1045.85 m) at the rate of 1.715 m/s is

    t = s/v = 1045.85 / 1.715 = 609.77 s or 609.77 / 60 = 10.16 minutes
