Question

A turtle was crawling at the rate of 43 cm per minute. How many kilometers would this turtle crawl in one day if it did not rest and continued to crawl at a continuous pace?

Answer 1

`\Large{\boxed{6.192 \: \sf{km}}}`

Step-by-step explanation:

In a day, 24 hours are there. Each hour comprises of 60 mins. Total minutes in a day,

`= 24 * 60 \: \sf{mins}`

`= 1440 \: \sf{mins}`

The turtle crawls 43 cm per minute. In 1440 mins, it will cover a distance of

`= 43 * 1440 \: \sf{cm}`

`= 61920 \: \sf{cm}`

10⁵ cm makes 1 km. Distance covered by turtle in a day then expressed in km: 6.9120 km (ans)
