Cleatus, owner and operator of ACME Golf Inc., has a scheduled appointment at Spudnickville Golf Links to play golf with his good friend Ludlow. The golf course is located 2400 metres downstream from a point directly across the river from Cleatus's current location at ACME, and the river is 300 m wide, as shown below. If Cleatus can swim at an average speed of 3 m/s and can run at an average speed of 6 m/s, how should he travel from ACME to the Golf Links in order to arrive at Golf Links as quickly as possible? Use at least 2 decimal places precision in all calculations and express your final answers in metres and cm for the distances and in minutes and seconds for the time. Your concluding statement must include information about distance run on ground, distance swum in water and the achieved total minimum time.
