Solution Steps

To find the speed of the tortoise, divide the total distance traveled by the total time taken. This will give the speed in meters per minute.

Step 1: Determine the Formula for Speed

The speed of an object is calculated using the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}} \]

Step 2: Substitute the Given Values

Given:

  • Distance = \(6.4\) meters
  • Time = \(4\) minutes

Substitute these values into the formula: \[ \text{Speed} = \frac{6.4}{4} \]

Step 3: Calculate the Speed

Perform the division: \[ \text{Speed} = 1.6 \text{ meters per minute} \]

Final Answer

The speed of the tortoise is \(\boxed{1.6}\) meters per minute.
