Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Convert 6 hours to minutes so that 6 hours and 16. 3 minutes can be in the same units.

Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, then 6 hours = 6 x 60 minutes = 360 minutes

Since the insect has more minutes to crawl (360 minutes), then we expect more inches to be covered. Therefore, the ratio is 360 minutes to 16.3 minutes

= 360 minutes : 16.3 minutes

= 360 : 16.3

Now express the ratio as fraction and relate it with 30 inches

= 360/16.3 x 30/1

= 10800/16.3

= 662 .576687 and this is approximately 650 inches

Answer = 650 = (C)
