The students in Mr. Stevens class are having a turtle race. The race will last 2 minutes. Find the distance from the start each turtle will be at the of the race.Rex 2/3 speed (in inches per second).Whatwas the distance at the end of the race.

To find the distance each turtle will be at the end of the race, we first need to calculate how far each turtle can travel in 2 minutes.
Given that Rex's speed is 2/3 inches per second, we need to convert this speed into inches per minute. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, we can multiply the speed by 60 to get the speed in inches per minute:
Speed (in inches per minute) = speed (in inches per second) * 60
Speed (in inches per minute) = (2/3) * 60
Speed (in inches per minute) = 40 inches per minute
Now that we know Rex's speed in inches per minute, we can calculate the distance he will travel in 2 minutes:
Distance = speed (in inches per minute) * time (in minutes)
Distance = 40 inches per minute * 2 minutes
Distance = 80 inches
Therefore, at the end of the race, Rex will be 80 inches from the start.
