How many hours will it take a worm to move 1.00 kilometre if it's average speed is 0.15 cm/s
Find the worm's speed per hr: 3600*.15 = 540 cm/hr, which is 5.4 meters
Change 1 km to 1000 meters
1000%2F5.4 = 185.2 hrs
:
As one equation: time = %28%281000%2A100%29%29%2F%28%283600%2A.15%29%29 = 185.185 hrs
