a turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour. the turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from the pond. at this speed, how long will it take the turtle to reach the pond

Answer : Turtle will require [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] that is 2.4 hrs to reach the pond. Solution:   Given that  A turtle can walk [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] km in an hour. So speed of turtle = [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] kmphTurtle is [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] of a kilometer away from pond. So distance turtle need to cover to reach the pond = [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] km We need to calculate time required by turtle to reach the pond. As time = [tex]\frac{distance}{speed}[/tex]So time required to cover [tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex] km at speed of [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] kilometer per hour is as follows Time required = ([tex]\frac{1}{5}[/tex]) divided by [tex]\frac{1}{12}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{12}{5}[/tex] = 2.4 hours. Hence turtle will require 12/5 that is 2.4 hrs to reach the pond
