Snail takes 1.5 minutes to travel around one meter

<u>Solution:</u>

Given, the average speed of a garden snail is 0.025 miles per hour  

And one inch is approximately 2.54 centimeters,  

We have to find how many minutes would it take a garden snail to travel one meter?  

Now, let us convert the speed in miles per hour to meters per minute

Then, speed = 0.025 miles per hour  

= 0.025 x 1 mile / 1 hour  

= 0.025 x 1609.34 meters / 60 minutes

= 0.025 x 1609.34 / 60 meters per minute

\begin{array}{l}{=\frac{0.025 \times 1609.34}{60} \text { meters per minute }} \\\\ {=\frac{40.2335}{60} \text { meters per minute }}\end{array}

= 0.670 meters per minute.

Now, 0.670 meters ⇒ 1 minute

Then, 1 meter ⇒ n minutes

So, by criss cross method

n x 0.67 = 1 x 1

n = 1.4912

Hence, snail takes 1.5 minutes approximately to travel 1 meter.

The diameter of a sphere is 21.6 cm. What is the sphere's volume? Round to the nearest tenth, if necessary. A) 693.2 cm3 B) 1453
SSSSS [86.1K]

The formula for the volume of a sphere is:

V = 4/3 * PI * r^3

The diameter is given as 21.6, divide this by 2 for the radius:

R = 21.6 / 2 = 10.8

V = 4/3 * PI * 10.8^3

V = 5276.7 cm^3


The answer is D
