Question

Our turtle Adel walks 10 feet in 50 minutes. How fast is Adel travelling? Be sure to include the equation for speed in your answer.

Answer 1

Speed = (distance covered) / (time to cover the distance)

(10 ft) / (50 minutes) = 0.2 ft/minute

= 2.4 inch/minute

= 12 ft/hour

Answer 2

First, divide
ft/min
10/50= .2
so
.2 ft per minute
Equation for speed is
Speed= Distance/Time
