Question

A turtle crawled at a speed of 1.2 meters per minute for 9 minutes. How far did the turtle crawl?
7.5 meters
7.8 meters
10.2 meters
10.8 meters

Answer 1

To find out how far the turtle crawled, you can use the formula:

\[
\text{Distance} = \text{Speed} \times \text{Time}
\]

Given:
- Speed = 1.2 meters per minute
- Time = 9 minutes

Now, calculate the distance:

\[
\text{Distance} = 1.2 \, \text{meters/minute} \times 9 \, \text{minutes}
\]

\[
\text{Distance} = 10.8 \, \text{meters}
\]

Therefore, the turtle crawled **10.8 meters**.
