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

Question

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.
