Question

A giant tortoise can walk about

1/10 meter per second on land. A cooter turtle can walk about
1/2 meter per second on land.
How long would it take a giant tortoise to travel 2 meters?
2 ÷ 1/10 = 2 ? 10 =

Answer 1

its already on brainy hope this helps

Explanation:

The rate of giant tortoise is 1/10 meters per each second.

The rate of cooter turtle is 1/2 meters per each second.

How long would it take a giant tortoise to travel 5 meters?

1 second : 1/10 m = X : 5 m

1/10x = 5

x = 50 seconds

How much longer would it take a giant tortoise than a cooter turtle to travel 10 meters on land?

1 second : 1/2 m = X : 10 m

1/2x = 10

x = 20 seconds

So the giant turtle can travel 5 meters in 50 seconds.

So the cooter turtle can travel 10 meters in 20 seconds.
