Answer:
Increase 9 times
Explanation:
We have Newton formula for attraction force between 2 objects with mass and a distance between them:

where
is the gravitational constant.
is the masses of the 2 objects. and R is the distance between them.
Since the force is inversely proportional to the distance squared, if it is reduced by 3 times, the gravitational force between them would increase by
times
Sometimes if you have the word per, you need to multiply. In this problem, they are asking you to find the amount of meters a snail can travel per minute.They are giving you the amount of minutes, so in this case you multiply 15 times 0.30. The answer is 4.5 meters.
