Answer:
It will take turtle [tex]2\frac{2}{5} \ hour[/tex] to reach the pond.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour.
The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond.
Now, to find the time it will take the turtle to reach the pond.
Speed of turtle = [tex]\frac{1}{12}\ kilometer\ per\ hour.[/tex]
Distance of turtle from the pond = [tex]\frac{1}{5} \ kilometer.[/tex]
Now, to get the time it will take turtle to reach the pond we put formula:
[tex]Time=\frac{Distance}{speed}[/tex]
[tex]Time=\frac{\frac{1}{5}}{\frac{1}{12}}[/tex]
[tex]Time=\frac{1}{5} \times \frac{12}{1}[/tex]
[tex]Time=\frac{12}{5}[/tex]
[tex]Time=2\frac{2}{5}\ hour.[/tex]
Therefore, it will take turtle [tex]2\frac{2}{5} \ hour[/tex] to reach the pond.
