That’s cool. i need p01nts so imma comment
1/50 of a mile is the distance the snail goes in 50 minutes. To get an hour, the snail must move for another 10 minutes (60-50=10).
Dividing 1/50 mile by 5 gives us 0.2/50 mile, which would be what the snail travels in 10 mins.
This can be added to 1/50 to give 1.2/50 mile as the answer
OR
You can take 0.2 and times it by 6 (to get 60 minutes from 10 minutes) to give the same answer as above.
Either way, the snail has gone 1.2 miles after the hour has passed.
10.25 you have to set them equal to each other 5x+24=9x-17
I added 17 over and -5x to make the equation 41=4x
41/4 =4x/4
10.25 = x
