Final answer:
The tortoise can move about 833.33 meters in 1 hour according to the quotation '500 + 2/3'. Rounding to the nearest given option, the distance is approximately 1000 meters (Option D).
Step-by-step explanation:
The question asks us to calculate how far a tortoise can move in 1 hour based on the given quotation '500 + 2/3'. To find the distance, we interpret the '500' as a base distance of 500 meters, and the '2/3' as a fraction of an additional 500 meters.
First, we calculate 2/3 of 500 meters:
- 2/3 × 500 meters = 333.33 meters
Next, we add this to the base distance of 500 meters:
- 500 meters + 333.33 meters = 833.33 meters
Since the options provided don't include 833.33 meters, we round it to the nearest option which is 1000 meters (Option D).
