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

Answer:

It will take turtle $2\frac{2}{5} \ hour$ to reach the pond.

Step-by-step 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  =  $\frac{1}{12}\ kilometer\ per\ hour.$

Distance of turtle from the pond =  $\frac{1}{5} \ kilometer.$

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

$Time=\frac{Distance}{speed}$

$Time=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{12}}$

$Time=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{12}{1}$

$Time=\frac{12}{5}$

$Time=2\frac{2}{5}\ hour.$

Therefore, it will take turtle $2\frac{2}{5} \ hour$ to reach the pond.
