Aaraon & Tortoise Example (+ Visualization)Aaron walks 3 kilometres in 1 hour. How far can he walk in 5 hours? Distance covered in 1 hour = 3 km. Therefore, Distance covered in 5 hours = 5 × 3 km = 15 km Aaron’s pet tortoise walks at a much slower pace. It can walk only 1/4 kilometre in 1 hour. How far can it walk in 3 hours? We do the same multiplication here Distance covered in 1 hour = 1/4 km Therefore, Distance covered in 3 hours = 𝟏/𝟒 × 𝟑 km = (1 × 3)/4 km = 𝟑/𝟒 km Visualization Aaron and the Tortoise A visualization of distance, time, and speed. Time in Hours: 3 ㅊ. Aaron Distance: 9 km Aaron walks at a speed of . Calculation: 3 hours Tortoise Distance: The tortoise walks at a speed of hour. Calculation: 3. hours
