Question

If a turtle travels 1/12 of a mile per hour how long will it take to get to a pond 5/6 of a mile away

Answer 1

Explanation:

To find the time it takes for the turtle to reach the pond, we can use the formula:

Time = Distance / Speed

Given that the turtle travels at a speed of 1/12 mile per hour and the distance to the pond is 5/6 mile, we can substitute these values into the formula:

Time = (5/6) / (1/12)

To simplify this, we can multiply the numerator by the reciprocal of the denominator:

Time = (5/6) * (12/1) = (5 * 12) / 6 = 60 / 6 = 10

Therefore, it will take the turtle 10 hours to reach the pond.
