Question

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour. The turtle is 1/5 o a kilometer away from a pond. At this speed,how long will it take the turtle to get to the pond?

Answer 1

It will take 5/12 hours.

Explanation:

Given,

The speed of turtle =
`(1)/(12)` km per hour,

Distance covered =
`(1)/(5)` km,

Since,

`Speed =(Distance)/(Time)`

`\implies Time =(Distance)/(Speed)`

Hence, the speed of turtle =
`\frac{\text{1}{12}}{(1)/(5)}`

`=(5)/(12)` hour.
