    The rate of giant tortoise is 1/10 meters per each second.

    The rate of cooter turtle is 1/2 meters per each second.

    How long would it take a giant tortoise to travel 5 meters?

    1 second : 1/10 m = X : 5 m

    1/10x = 5

    x = 50 seconds

    How much longer would it take a giant tortoise than a cooter turtle to travel 10 meters on land?

    1 second : 1/2 m = X : 10 m

    1/2x = 10

    x = 20 seconds

    So the giant turtle can travel 5 meters in 50 seconds.

    So the cooter turtle can travel 10 meters in 20 seconds.
