The slowest animal ever discovered was a crab found in the red sea. it traveled with an average speed of 5.70km/yr. how long would it take this crab to travel 100km?

The time taken is 17.5 years.

Average speed is the ratio of distance traveled to time.

From the question we have the following parameters;

Average speed of the crab: 5.70km/yr

Distance traveled by the crab: 100km

Average speed of the crab =

Time taken =

Time taken =

Time taken = 17.5 years

link

Time taken by the crab, t = 17.54 years.

Explanation:

It is given that,

Speed of a crab, v = 5.70 km/yr

Distance travelled by the crab, d = 100 km

We need to find the time taken by the crab to cover this much distance. Time taken is given by :

t = 17.54 years

So, the time taken by the crab is 17.54 years. Hence, this is the required solution.
