In the SI, the unit of speed is meters per second (m/s).
First, let's find how much meters does the tortoise walk in 1 minute. Let x be the distance, and let's use the rule of three:
6 minutes --> 9.6 meters
1 minute --> x meters

x = (1*9.6)/6 = 1.6
So in 1 minute, the tortoise travels 1.6 meters.
Each minute is 60 seconds. So in 60 seconds, the tortoise walks 1.6 meters. To find its speed, we need to see how much meters does it walk in a second. Let y be the distance, using the rule of three:

60 seconds --> 1.6 meters
1 second --> y meters

y = 1.6 / 60 ≈ 0.029

So the speed of the tortoise is V ≈ 0.029 m/s

Hope this Helps! :)

The speed of the tortoise is given by dividing 9.6 meters by 6 minutes will be 1.6 meters per minute.

What is speed?

The distance covered by the particle or the body in an hour is called speed. It is a scalar quantity. It is the ratio of distance to time.

We know that the speed formula

Speed = Distance/Time

A tortoise is walking in the desert.

It takes 6 minutes to walk 9.6 meters.

The speed of the tortoise is given by dividing 9.6 meters by 6 minutes.

Speed = 9.6 / 6

Speed = 1.6 meters per minute

The speed of the tortoise is given by dividing 9.6 meters by 6 minutes will be 1.6 meters per minute.

This means the tortoise can cover 1.6 meters each minute.
