Carlo Mercer · Answer 1

4/21 kilometers per hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the tortoise traveled 1/6 kilometers in 7/8 hour we can divide 1/6 by 7 because 7/8 divided by 7 is 1/8 and get 1/42. Once we've done this we can then multiply 1/6 by 8 since 1/8 x 8 = 8/8 or 1 hour and get 8/48 which simplifies to 4/21.
