A three-toed sloth has a top speed of 0.22 feet per second. A giant tortoise has a top speed of 2.992 inches per second. Convert both speeds to miles per hour, and determine which animal is faster.

If you convert the sloth it is
0.15 miles per hour
If you convert the giant tortoise it is
0.17 miles per hour
You can then compare the two and realize the giant tortoise is 0.02 miles per hour faster than the sloth
