Aturtle 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?

It will take 2.4 hours for the turtle to reach the pond.

Given

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.

The quantitative relation between two amounts shows the number of times one value contains or is contained within the other:

Let, t be the time will it take for the turtle to reach the pond.

Therefore,

The ratio of their speed is in the same proportion;

Hence, it will take 2.4 hours for the turtle to reach the pond.
