Question

A tortoise can crawl at 0.10 m/s and crawls for 50 seconds. How far did the tortoise crawl?

Answer 1

ANSWER:

5 meters

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given:

Speed (v) = 0.10 m/s

Time (t) = 50 s

We can determine the distance traveled as follows:

$\begin{gathered} v=\frac{d}{t} \\ \\ \text{ We replacing:} \\ \\ 0.10=\frac{d}{50} \\ \\ d=0.10\cdot50 \\ \\ d=5\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

The tortoise crawls for about 5 meters.
