Question

The slowest animal ever discovered was a crab found in the Red Sea. It traveled with an average speed of 5.70km/yr. how long would it take this crab to travel 100km?

Answer 1

If it takes 1 year for this crab to travel 5,70km

Then, it will takes approximatly 1000/5,70 = 175 years to travel 1000 km 

Answer 2

Answer:

Time taken by the crab, t = 17.54 years.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of a crab, v = 5.70 km/yr

Distance travelled by the crab, d = 100 km

We need to find the time taken by the crab to cover this much distance. Time taken is given by :

$t=\dfrac{d}{v}$

$t=\dfrac{100\ km}{5.70\ km/yr}$

t = 17.54 years

So, the time taken by the crab is 17.54 years. Hence, this is the required solution.
