Answer:
The speed of tortoise is 2 miles per hour and
The speed of hare is 11 miles per hour
Step-by-step explanation:
Given as :
The distance cover by tortoise = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] miles
The Time taken by tortoise to cover distance = [tex]\frac{1}{4}[/tex] hour
So, The speed of the tortoise is = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm Disatnce cover by tortoise}{\textrm time taken}[/tex]
I.e The speed of the tortoise = [tex]\frac{\frac{1}{2}}{\frac{1}{4}}[/tex]
∴ The speed of the tortoise = 2 miles per hour
Again ,
The distance cover by hare = [tex]\frac{11}{2}[/tex] miles
The Time taken by hare to cover distance = [tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] hour
So, The speed of the hare = [tex]\dfrac{\textrm Disatnce cover by hare}{\textrm time taken}[/tex]
I.e The speed of the hare = [tex]\frac{\frac{11}{2}}{\frac{1}{2}}[/tex]
∴ The speed of the hare = 11 miles per hour
Hence The speed of tortoise is 2 miles per hour and
The speed of hare is 11 miles per hour . Answer
