Answer:

s(t) = 2.35t and distance covered in 5 minutes = 11.75 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

A snail travels at a rate of 2.35 feet per minute.

We have to write a rule to describe the function.

If a snail covers the distance of 2.35 feet in a minute then in t minutes distance traveled by the snail will be = 2.35×(t) feet

Now if we define the distance as a function then function will be

S(t) = 2.35(t)

and distance covered by the snail in 5 minutes will be

Distance = 2.35×5 = 11.75 feet

Therefore the function is S(t) = 2.35t and distance covered in 5 minutes is 11.75 feet.
