What fraction of a minute is 3 seconds?
To find the fraction of a minute that is 3 seconds, you need to convert the seconds to minutes. Since there are 60 seconds in a minute, 3 seconds is equal to 3/60 or 1/20 of a minute. Therefore, 3 seconds is equivalent to 1/20 of a minute.

If you have two hourglasses one four minute timer and one seven minute timer how can you measure nine minutes?
Start both timers, when the four minute timer is done, there will be 3 minutes of sand left in the top of the seven minute timer.Restart the four minute timer, while letting the remaining (3 minutes) of sand to drop from the 7 minute timer. (this is your 1st 3 minutes of your nine minute measurement)When the 7 minute timer is done the 4 minute timer will now have 3 minutes of sand in the bottom. Flip the 4 minute timer (when this runs it will be your second 3 minutes of time). At the same time flip the 7 minute timer.When the 3 minutes of sand run on the 4 minute timer, restart the 7 minute timer by this time 3 minutes worth of sand will have gone to the bottom of the timer, resetting it will give you the last 3 minutes of sand for you last 3 minutes of time measuring the 9 nine minutes.

What is the distance traveled by the turtle during the seventh minute if it walked 0.3 m in the first minute then it tripled its speed each minute?
Initial (average) speed = distance/time = 0.3 m / 1 min = 0.3 m/min If it triples its speed every minute: for the second minute it walks at 3 × 0.3m/min for the third minute it walks at 3² × 0.3 m/min for the nth minute it walks at 3ⁿ⁻¹ × 0.3 m/min → for the 7th minute it "walks" at 3⁷⁻¹ × 0.3 m/min = 3⁶ × 0.3 m/min (approx 13 km/h or 8 mph; we generally walk at 2 to 3 mph) → distance = speed × time → distance in 7th minute = 3⁶ × 0.3 m/min × 1 min = 3⁶ × 0.3 m = 218.7 m
