Even beyond the imperial/metric transition, she can understand this:

Even though the VALUE is the same, it's obvious that the turtle and the person are not pacing each other in that hour long race.
Now, understand how much faster the person is going than the turtle might be beyond her math level (dunno) but the concept would work.
