Answer:

3 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

d=3t is our formula.

d being the distance (9 inches for this problem)

t is the time in minutes

Substituting our known information would make our equation look like:

9 = 3t

to solve for t we divide both sides of the equation by 3

9/3 = 3t/3

3 = t

So if a snail travels 3 inches per minute, it will have traveled 9 inches in 3 minutes.
