Question

Little Snail is going to visit his friend over at the next pond, 3 miles away. He can crawl ( 1/2. 1/3, 1/4, 3/4, 2/3 ) of a mile per day. How many days will it take him to get there

Answer 1

Solution :

It is given that Little Snail is going to visit one of his friend at the pond which is 3 miles away.

When the snail crawls 1/2 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{2}{1} \times 3$

   =  6 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/3 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{3}{1} \times 3$

   =  9 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/4 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{4}{1} \times 3$

   = 12 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 3/4 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{4}{3} \times 3$

   =  4 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 2/3 of a mile per day, it will take him, $1 \times \frac{3}{2} \times 3$

   =  4.5 days to get to the next pond.
