Question

On an average day, a garden snail can travel about 0.05 mile. The snail travels 0.2 times as far as the average distance on day 1. It travels 0.6 times as far as the average distance on day 2. How Far does it travel in two days?

Answer 1

Answer: 0.04 miles

 

SOLUTION

 

Given,

Average daily distance of a garden = 0.05 mile.

 

Distance traveled on day 1 = 0.2 times as far as the average distance

= 0.2 x 0.05 miles

= 0.01 miles

 

Distance traveled on day 2 = 0.6 times as far as the average distance

= 0.6 x 0.05 miles

= 0.03 miles

 

Total distance traveled in two days

= Distance traveled on day 1 + Distance traveled on day 2

= 0.01 miles + 0.03 miles

= 0.04 miles
