We have to deal with the distance in more detail If the turtle is 11 times faster than the snail, the amount of distance he will cover is 11 times more. d/(360 - d) = 1/11 11d = 360 - d 12d = 360 d = 30 The Snail covers 30 meters. The turtle covers 11*30 = 330 meters.
Answers Rate of snail = 30 meters / 40 minutes = 3/4 meter / minute Rate of turtle = 330 meters / 40 minutes = 8.25 meters / minute.
