Question

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour. The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond. At this speed how long will it take the turtle to reach the pond

Answer 1

Answer:2.4 hour

Explanation:

speed=1/12 of a km in an hour

Speed=1/12 km/hr

Distance=1/5km

Time=distance ➗ speed

Time=1/5 ➗ 1/12

Time=1/5 x 12/1

Time=12/5

Time=2.4 hour

Answer 2

2.4 hours

Explanation:

Get common denominators -

1/12 x 5/5 = 5/60

1/5 x 12/12 = 12/60

The turtle walks ata 5/60 a kilometer an hour.

divide remaining time by 5/60

(12/60) / (5/60) = 2.4 hours
