Question: A turtle crawls 25 cm in 5.2 seconds. What is its speed in m/s?

Solution:


\colon\implies\frak{Distance_((turtle)) = 25 cm} \\ \\ \colon\implies\frak{Time_((turtle)) = 5.2 sec} \\ \\ \star \: \: \boxed{ \blue{\frak{Speed_((turtle)) = (Distance_((turtle)))/(Time_((turtle)))}}} \\ \\ \colon \implies \frak{Speed_((turtle)) = (25)/(5.2)} \\ \\ \colon \implies \frak{Speed_((turtle)) = (250)/(52)} \\ \\ \colon \implies \frak{Speed_((turtle)) = 4.81 } \\ \\ \star \: \sf{Hence, \: the \: speed_((turtle)) \: is \: 4.81 \: m/s}
