Question

Tanya is training a turtle for a turtle race for every 2/3 of an hour that the turtle is crawling, he can travel 1/20 of a mile at what unit rate is the turtle crawling
A.1/30 of a mile per hour
B. 30 miles per hour
C. 43/60 of a mile per hour
D. 3/40 of a mile per hour

Answer 1

To find the unit rate at which the turtle is crawling, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

The turtle can travel 1/20 of a mile in every 2/3 of an hour.

To find the unit rate, we divide the distance (1/20) by the time (2/3):

(1/20) ÷ (2/3) = (1/20) * (3/2) = 3/40 of a mile per hour

Therefore, the turtle is crawling at a unit rate of 3/40 of a mile per hour.

The correct answer is D. 3/40 of a mile per hour.
