Question

In a recent snail race, a snail traveled a distance of 1 1/6 inches in 2 minutes. Find the number if inches traveled per minute and the number of minutes per inch

Answer 1

Answer:

For inch/min =0.9167 inch/min

For min/inch = 1.0908 min/inch

Step-by-step explanation:

The snail in the race traveled 11/6 inches in 2 minutes.

The number of inches per minute is equal to = (11/6)/(2)

= 11/12

=0.9167 inch/min

The number of minutes per inch is equal to = 1/(inch per min)

= 1/0.9167

= 1.0908 min/inch

Minutes per inch is gotten by taking the inverse of inch/min or dividing the number of minutes by number of inches
