Answer:
5.67 feet
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that a turtle begins to cross a path.
We have to find the total width of the path.
Turtle travel distance in 3 minutes =2.5 feet
Turtle travel distance in 1 minute=[tex]\frac{2.5}{3}[/tex]
Turtle travel distance in 5 minutes form one edge=[tex]\frac{2.5}{3}\times 5=\frac{12.5}{3}[/tex]
The distance of turtle from second edge=1.5 feet
Total width of path
[tex]\frac{12.5}{3}+1.5[/tex]
[tex]\frac{12.5+4.5}{3}=\frac{17}{3}[/tex]
Width of path=5.67 feet.
