Question

A snail is moving along a path that is 4 meters long. The snail moves at an average rate of 3 3/10 inches per minute. Question 1 Part A Find the length of the path to the nearest inch. (Hint: 1 in.≈2.54 cm) Enter the correct answer in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the path = 157 inches { approx}

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The length of the path = 4 meters

1 meter = 100 centimeters

So 4 meters = 400 centimeters

Also 1 in. ≈ 2.54 cm

$\Rightarrow\ 1 cm = \dfrac{1}{2.54}\ in.$

Now, $\text{ 400 centimeters}=400\times\dfrac{1}{2.54}\text{ inches}$

$=157.480314961\approx 157 \ \ \ \ \ \text{ [Rounded to the nearest inch.]}$

Hence, the length of the path = 157 inches { approx}
