Question

A snail travels 10 cm in 4 minutes. At this rate:

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Find the speed of the snail using this formula;

Speed = Distance/time

Distance= 10cm

time = 4mins

Speed = 10/4 = 2.5 cm/min

Q1.

If 2.5 cm = 1 min

24cm = (24*1) / 2.5 = 9.6 mins or 9mins and 36 seconds.

Q2. Knowing that speed = 2.5cm/min

and time=6 mins, we use the formula; Distance = speed * time;

Distance = 2.5 *6 = 15 cm
