Complete Question

A turtle can walk 1/12 of a kilometer in an hour. The turtle is 1/5 of a kilometer away from a pond.At this speed how long will it take the turtle to reach the pond?

From the above question:

1/12 km = 1 hour

1/5 km = x hour

Cross Multiply

1/12 km × x hour = 1/5 km × 1 hour

x hour = 1/5 km × 1 hour/1/12 km

x hour = 1/5 km ÷ 1/12 km

x hour = 1/5 × 12 hour

x hour = 12/5 hour

x hour = 2 2/5 hour
