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:
- the speed of the turtle in centimeters per second
Find the equivalent yard in centimeter and equivalent seconds in a day:
- 1 yard = 91.44 cm
- 1 day = 86,400 s
Calculate the speed of the small turtle in centimeters per second:
[tex]v = 186 \ \frac{furlong}{fortnight} \times \frac{220 \ yards}{1 \ furlong} \times \frac{1 \ fortnight}{14 \ days} = 2922.857 \ \frac{yards}{day} \\\\In \ centimeter \ per \ second:\\\\v = 2922.857 \ \frac{yards}{day} \times \frac{91.44 \ cm}{1 \ yard} \times \frac{1 \ day}{86400 \ s} = 3.1 \ \frac{cm}{s}[/tex]
Thus, the speed of the small turtle in centimeters per second is 3.1 cm/s.
