A small turtle moves at a speed of 186 furlongs per fortnight. Find the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second. Note: 1 furlong = 220 yards, 1 yard = .9144 meters, and 1 fortnight = 14 days.

1 answer

Speed of the turtle in centimeters per second = (186 furlongs/fortnight) x (220 yards/furlong) x (.9144 meters/yard) x (100 cm/meter) x (1 second/86400 seconds/day) x (14 days/fortnight)

Speed of the turtle in centimeters per second = 0.0014 cm/s
