Question

A snail is moving at a rate of 43 mm every minute. How many centimetres will the snail move in 5 minutes.

Answer 1

So if this snail is moving at a rate of 43 mm every minute, and you need to find how many centimeters he will move in 5 minutes, you would have to multiply the amount he moves in one minute, which is 43, and 5 minutes.

43 × 5 = 215

The snail moves at a rate of 215 mm in 5 minutes. But we need to find the amount of centimeters, so we would convert the millimeters to centimeters. There are 0.1 centimeters in 1 millimeter. There are 21.5 centimeters in 215 millimeters.

He moves 21.5 centimeters in 5 hours.

Answer 2

21.5 cm will snail move.
