To solve for how long it would take a giant tortoise to travel 5 meters if it can travel 1/10 meter per second; multiply 5meters by 1/10 meters per second. It can be written as
5m x 1/10m/s
To cancel the ‘m’ sign, we need to reciprocate 1/10m/s and the value is 1s/10m
5m x 1/10m/s
5m x 1s/10m
5 x 1s/10
50s
It takes 50 seconds for the giant tortoise to walk 5 meters.
