    tortoise distance w. r. t sloth is 28.08 m further

    Explanation:

    given data

    average speed v1 = 0.037 m/s

    walking speed v2 = 0.076 m/s

    time t = 12 min = 720 seconds

    to find out

    how much tortoise have gone wrt sloth

    solution

    we find here first tortoise walk that is

    distance d1 = v2 * t

    distance d1 = 0.076 * 720

    distance d1 = 54.72 m

    and sloth walk distance

    distance d2 = v1 * t

    distance d2 = 0.037 * 720

    distance d2 = 26.64 m

    and so

    tortoise distance w. r. t sloth = d1 - d2

    tortoise distance w. r. t sloth = 54.72 - 26.64 = 28.08

    tortoise distance w. r. t sloth is 28.08 m further
