Question

A giant tortoise can travel 0.17 miles in 1 hour. At this​ rate, how long would it take the tortoise to travel 1.5 ​miles?

Answer 1

1.5÷ 0.17= 8.8235...
=8.8 hours

0.8 of an hour= 48 mins (60×0.8)

so roughly about 8 hours and 48 minutes.

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

X/1.5 = 1hr/0.17 X = 1.5/0.17 = 8.18.... but I am not positive so check my work
