2.4 I think.

To calculate the distance a squirrel can go in 5 minutes, we need to convert 5 minutes to hours since the squirrel's speed is given in miles per hour (mph).

To convert minutes to hours, we divide the number of minutes by 60 (as there are 60 minutes in an hour):

5 minutes ÷ 60 = 0.0833 hours (rounded to four decimal places)

Now, we can calculate the distance the squirrel can go in 5 minutes by multiplying its speed (12 mph) by the time (0.0833 hours):

12 mph × 0.0833 hours ≈ 1 mile

Therefore, the squirrel can go approximately 1 mile in 5 minutes.
