Question

The turtle tried to cross the 45 foot wide street. If the turtle traveled at an average of 6 feet per minute, how many seconds would it take to cross the street?

Answer 1

45 feet/6 feet=7.5 minutes to cross the street

7.5*60 seconds=450 seconds

another way to look at the problem...

6 feet per minute=6 feet per 60 seconds

6  feet per 60 seconds= 1 foot per 10 seconds

the turtle travels 1 foot every 10 seconds

to travel 45 feet it would take the turtle 45*10=450 seconds
