A Galapagos tortoise can 1/5 mile in an hour. How many hours would it take the tortoise to walk 1/6?

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

=

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

let's solve your equation step-by-step.

4x+2=2x+12

step 1: subtract 2x from both sides.

4x+2−2x=2x+12−2x

2x+2=12

step 2: subtract 2 from both sides.

2x+2−2=12−2

2x=10

step 3: divide both sides by 2.

2x
