Question

A tortoise is traveling at a speed of 10 feet per minute. At this rate, how many yards will it travel in 1 hour?

Answer 1

At given rate, tortoise will travel `200` yards in one hour.

Explanation:

As the tortoise is traveling at a speed of `10` feet per minute and there are `60` minutes in an hour,

In one hour tortoise will travel `10xx60=600` feet.

Now `3` feet make a yard,

so `600` feet will make `600/3=200` yards.

and at given rate, tortoise will travel `200` yards in one hour.
