In 5 minutes the turtle travelled = $$\frac{1}{30}$$ of mile

Therefore in 60 minutes the turtle travelled = $${\frac{1}{(30 * 5)}} * 60 = 0.4 miles/hr$$

Explanation

The turtle traveled $$\frac{1}{30}$$of a mile (D) in 5 minutes (t), which is $$\frac{1}{12}$$of an hour. Using the D = RT formula, solve for r:

$$\frac{1}{30}=\frac{1}{12} r$$

0.4 = r
