A Galapagos tortoise can 1/5 mile in an hour. How many hours would it take the tortoise to walk 1/6?

5/6 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

Create a proportion where x is the number of hours it will take to walk 1/6 of a mile:

=

Cross multiply and solve for x:

1/5x = 1/6

x = 5/6

So, it will take the tortoise 5/6 hours to walk 1/6 of a mile

3< x< 5

step-by-step explanation:

|x - 4| < 1

there are two solutions, one positive and one negative.   remember to flip the inequality when taking the negative solution

x-4 < 1       x-4 > -1

add 4 to each side

x-4+4 < 1+4       x-4+4 > -1+4

x< 5                 x> 3

3< x< 5
