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.

This table shows a value that represents an exponential function what is the average rate of change for this function for the in
aliya0001 [1]

Answer:

Option A is correct, i.e. 12.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given is the table of x&y relationship which represents an exponential function.

The average rate of change for a function can be found using the following formula:-

F_average = { f(b) - f(a) } / (b-a)

Given a = 3 and b = 5.

From the table, f(3) = 8 and f(5) = 32.

So, F_average = (32-8)/(5-3)

F_average = 24/2 = 12.

Hence, option A is correct, i.e. 12.
