    1 ft = 12 inches : 60 minutes = 1 hr

    Tortoise 1:

    52 feet per hr = (52 * 12) / 60 = 624 inches / 60 min = 10.4 inches per minute

    Tortoise 2:

    12 inches per minute

    Tortoise 2 travels faster because he can travel 12 inches per minute whereas, tortoise 1 travels 10.4 inches per minute
