Question

Tortoise A walks 52.0 feet per hour and tortoise B walks 12 inches per minute. Which tortoise travels faster? Explsin. Plz help

Answer 1

*Explain

Answer 2

well, we need to convert both speeds to the same units so...

12 inches per minute can be converted to feet per hour

first, we can convert 12 inches to feet by dividing by 12. that gives us:

1 foot per minute

then we can convert minutes to hours by multiplying by 60 minutes, since there are 60 minutes in one hour

so tortoise B travels 60 feet per hour

now, going back to tortoise A, tortoise A travels 52.0 feet per hour

so which is faster?

Answer 3

Tortoise B :D
