Question

Answer each question with a fraction.

A turtle moves 6 feet in 70 minutes. What is its average speed?

Answer 1

The average speed is
`(3)/(35)(ft)/(min)`

Explanation:

we know that

To find out the average speed divide the distance by the time

Let

s -----> average speed

d -----> the distance in feet

t ----> the time in minutes

`s=(d)/(t)`

we have

`d=6\ ft`

`t=70\ min`

substitute

`s=(6)/(70)(ft)/(min)`

Simplify

`s=(3)/(35)(ft)/(min)`
