Question
a small turtle moves at a speed of 186 furlongs per fortnight
find the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second. note
that 1 furlong = 220 yards and 1 fortnight = 14 days.

The speed of the small turtle in centimeters per second is 3.1 cm/s.

The given parameters:

speed of the small turtle, v = 186 furlongs per fortnight

1 furlong = 220 yards

1 fortnight = 14 days

To find:

Find the equivalent yard in centimeter and equivalent seconds in a day:

Calculate the speed of the small turtle in centimeters per second:

Thus, the speed of the small turtle in centimeters per second is 3.1 cm/s.

3.09 cm /sec.

Explanation:

Speed = distance / time taken

= 186×220× 91.44 cm/sec

1×14×86400

= 3.09 cm /sec.

Note: 1 yard = 91.44 centimeters

And 1 day= 24×60×60= 86400 seconds.
