At given rate, tortoise will travel $200$ $200$ yards in one hour.

Explanation:

As the tortoise is traveling at a speed of $10$ $10$ feet per minute and there are $60$ $60$ minutes in an hour,

In one hour tortoise will travel $10 \times 60 = 600$ $10xx60=600$ feet.

Now $3$ $3$ feet make a yard,

so $600$ $600$ feet will make $\frac{600}{3} = 200$ $600/3=200$ yards.

and at given rate, tortoise will travel $200$ $200$ yards in one hour.
