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

0.834 hours

Given that,

A Galapagos tortoise can walk 1/5 mile in an hour.

We need to find time would it take the tortoise to walk 1/6 mile.

1/5 mile = 1 hour

1 mile = 1/1/5 = 5 hours

For 1/6 mile = 1/6 *5 = 0.834 hours

It will take 0.834 hours to walk 1/6 mile.

check above link.

graphically?   well, you graph them both, the solutions is where they both intersect each other, since there are two solutions, meaning they will meet twice, or namely the linear will run into the quadratic curve twice, and where they meet, those x,y coordinates are the solutions to the system.
