Step-by-step explanation:

Givens

• The quarter horse can run 53.16 miles per hour.
• The garden snail moves at 0.02 miles per hour.

To know how much faster is the quarter horse than the snail, we just need to express as the following equation

$h=xs$

Where $h$ is the horse and $s$ is the snail, replacing each value we have

$53.16=0.02x$

Where $x$ represents the factor that makes the horse faster. Now we solve

$x=\frac{53.16}{0.02} \\ x=2,658$

Therefore, the horse is 2658 times faster than the snail.

Answer 2

Answer:

53.14

Step-by-step explanation:

Subtract 0.02 from 0.06 and you get 0.04
