10/4 is 2.5. The snail travels 2.5 cms ever min. So 24/2.5 is 9.6 so the snail takes 9 mins and 36 seconds.

Answer:

It will take 9.6 minutes to travel 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by snail = 10 cm,

Time taken = 4 minutes,

So, speed of snail = $\frac{Distance}{Time}$

$=\frac{10}{4}$

= 2.5 cm per minute.

Now, if distance = 24,

$\implies 2.5 =\frac{24}{Time}$

$\implies Time = \frac{24}{2.5}=9.6\text{ minutes}$
