Tanya is training a turtle for a turtle race for every 2/3 of an hour that the turtle is crawling, he can travel 1/20 of a mile at what unit rate is the turtle crawling
A.1/30 of a mile per hour
B. 30 miles per hour
C. 43/60 of a mile per hour
D. 3/40 of a mile per hour
To find the unit rate at which the turtle is crawling, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.
The turtle can travel 1/20 of a mile in every 2/3 of an hour.
To find the unit rate, we divide the distance (1/20) by the time (2/3):
(1/20) ÷ (2/3) = (1/20) * (3/2) = 3/40 of a mile per hour
Therefore, the turtle is crawling at a unit rate of 3/40 of a mile per hour.
The correct answer is D. 3/40 of a mile per hour.
To find the unit rate at which the turtle is crawling, you need to divide the distance traveled by the time it took to travel that distance. In this case, the turtle travels 1/20 of a mile for every 2/3 of an hour.
To find the unit rate, divide the distance (1/20) by the time (2/3):
(1/20) ÷ (2/3)
To divide fractions, you multiply the first fraction by the reciprocal of the second fraction:
(1/20) * (3/2)
Simplify the multiplication:
(1 * 3) / (20 * 2)
3/40
Therefore, the turtle is crawling at a unit rate of 3/40 of a mile per hour.
The correct answer is D. 3/40 of a mile per hour.
To find the unit rate at which the turtle is crawling, we need to determine how much distance the turtle covers in one hour.
According to the given information, for every 2/3 of an hour, the turtle travels 1/20 of a mile.
To convert this to a rate, we need to find how much distance the turtle covers in one hour.
Let's find out:
Distance covered in 2/3 of an hour = 1/20 mile
To find the distance covered in one hour, we need to invert the fraction 2/3 and multiply it by the distance covered in 2/3 of an hour:
Distance covered in 1 hour = (1/20 mile) x (3/2) = 3/40 mile
Therefore, the unit rate at which the turtle is crawling is 3/40 of a mile per hour.
Hence, the correct answer is option D. 3/40 of a mile per hour.
