A giant tortoise can walk about 1/10 meters per second on land. A cooter turtle can walk about 1/2 meter per second on land. How long would it take a giant tortoise to travel 3 meters?
(1/10) / 1 = 3 / x.....1/10 m to 1 second = 3 m to x seconds cross multiply (1/10)(x) = (3)(1) 1/10x = 3 x = 3 / (1/10) x = 3 * 10/1 x = 30 seconds <====
