the maximum speed recorded for a giant tortoise is 0.11 m/sec. How many miles could a giant tortoise travel in 5.0 hrs?
1 meter = 6.21E-4 miles.
0.11 m/s x (6.21E-4 mi/meter) = ? mi/second
0.11 m/s x (6.21E-4 mi/m) x ? seconds = 5 hrs x (60 min/hr) x (60 s/min)
To find out how many miles a giant tortoise could travel in 5.0 hours, we need to convert the maximum speed from meters per second to miles per hour.
First, let's convert the maximum speed from meters per second to meters per hour:
1 meter = 0.000621371 miles
1 second = 1/3600 hour
Speed in meters per hour = (0.11 m/sec) * (3600 sec/hr) = 396 m/hr
Now, let's convert the speed from meters per hour to miles per hour:
Speed in miles per hour = (396 m/hr) * (0.000621371 miles/meter) = 0.246 miles/hr
Finally, we can calculate the distance traveled:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = (0.246 miles/hr) * (5.0 hrs) = 1.23 miles
Therefore, a giant tortoise could travel approximately 1.23 miles in 5.0 hours.
To calculate the distance that a giant tortoise could travel in 5.0 hours, we first need to convert the given speed from meters per second to miles per hour.
1 mile is equal to 1609.34 meters, and 1 hour is equal to 3600 seconds.
So, let's convert the given speed of the giant tortoise from meters per second to miles per hour:
Speed in meters per second = 0.11 m/sec
Speed in miles per hour = (0.11 m/sec) * (3600 sec/hour) * (1 mile/1609.34 meters) = 0.2446 miles/hour (rounded to four decimal places)
Now that we have the speed of the giant tortoise in miles per hour, we can calculate the distance it could travel in 5.0 hours:
Distance = Speed * Time
Distance = 0.2446 miles/hour * 5.0 hours = 1.223 miles (rounded to three decimal places)
Therefore, a giant tortoise could travel approximately 1.223 miles in 5.0 hours.
