Why -4 x (-4) = 16 not -16? Simple...

Illusion [34]3 years ago

The reason why it is a positive 16 and not a negative 16, is because when you multiply a negative number with another negative number you will always get a positive number. But, if you multiple a negative number with a positive number, you will get a negative. So, in order for you to get a -16, the equation would have to be -4*4=-16.

eimsori [14]

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.
