Question

A small turtle moves at a speed of 566 furlongs per fortnight. Find the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second.

Answer 1

The speed of the turtle is 9.41 centimeters per second.

Step-by-step explanation:

Speed of small turtle = 566 furlong/fortnight

1 furlong = 20,116.8 cm

`566 furlong = 566* 20,116.8 cm=11,386,108.8 cm`

1 fortnight = 1,209,600 seconds

Speed of small turtle in centimeter per seconds:

`=(11,386,108.8 cm)/(1,209,600 seconds )=9.41 cm/s`

The speed of the turtle is 9.41 centimeters per second.
