    Step-by-step explanation:

    First we need to find their rate of speed.

    r = d / t

    For ant,

    Convert millimeters to inches.

    1 inch = 25.4 mm

    18 mm = 0.7 inch

    r = 0.7 / 5

    r = 0.14 inches per second

    For beetle,

    r = 8 / 3

    r = 2.7 inches per second

    From the rates, you can tell that the beetle crosses the Garden first.

    To know how long it takes for the ant to cross is by dividing the length by the rate.

    1 yard = 36 inches

    13 yards = 468 inches

    468 : 0.14 = 668.5 ≈ 669 seconds

    In terms of minutes:

    11 minutes and 15 seconds

    The ant would cross the garden in 11 minutes and 15 seconds (or 669 seconds up to you).
