Question

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

Answer 1

Answer:

It will take 5/12 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The speed of turtle = $\frac{1}{12}$ km per hour,

Distance covered = $\frac{1}{5}$ km,

Since,

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

$\implies Time =\frac{Distance}{Speed}$

Hence, the speed of turtle = $\frac{\text{1}{12}}{\frac{1}{5}}$

$=\frac{5}{12}$ hour.
