Question

A turtle can walk \dfrac{1}{12} 12 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 12, end fraction of a kilometer in an hour. The turtle is \dfrac15 5 1 ​ start fraction, 1, divided by, 5, end fraction of a kilometer away from a pond. At this speed, how long will it take the turtle to reach the pond?

Answer 1

2 2/5

Explanation:

Answer 2

It will take turtle
`2(2)/(5) \ hour` to reach the pond.

Explanation:

Given:

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour.

The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond.

Now, to find the time it will take the turtle to reach the pond.

Speed of turtle =
`(1)/(12)\ kilometer\ per\ hour.`

Distance of turtle from the pond =
`(1)/(5) \ kilometer.`

Now, to get the time it will take turtle to reach the pond we put formula:

`Time=(Distance)/(speed)`

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

`Time=(1)/(5) * (12)/(1)`

`Time=(12)/(5)`

`Time=2(2)/(5)\ hour.`

Therefore, it will take turtle
`2(2)/(5) \ hour` to reach the pond.
