The slowest mammal is the three-toad sloth.The top speed of a three-toad sloth on the ground is about 1/4 foot per second.The top speed of a giant tortoises on the ground is about 1/3 foot per second.How much longer would it take a three-toad sloth than a giant tortoise to travel 12 feet on the ground?

Answer: 12 seconds

Step-by-step explanation: it takes 4 seconds for the sloth to travel 1 for so 4 times 12 is 48, it takes 3 seconds for the turtle to travel a foot so 3 times 12 is 36 and 48 - 36 is 12, 12 seconds
