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.
