Q. Desert tortoises are some of the slowest animals on Earth. A biologist observed a desert tortoise walk a distance of 9090 feet in 55 minutes. What was its speed?\newlineWrite your answer as a whole number or decimal.\newline____\_\_\_\_ feet per minute\newline
  1. Calculate speed: Calculate the speed of the tortoise by dividing the distance by the time.\newlineSpeed = Distance ÷\div Time\newlineSpeed = 9090 feet ÷\div 55 minutes
  2. Perform division: Perform the division to find the speed.\newlineSpeed = 90÷590 \div 5\newlineSpeed = 1818 feet per minute
