Question

A snail sets out on a 3 3/5 -mile journey, traveling at a speed of 2/65 miles per hour. a. How many hours will the journey take? b. How many days will the journey take?

Answer 1

Answer:a)117 hours b)4.875days.

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the formula

Speed =Distance / Time

Given Distance = 3 3/5 -mile

and Speed=2/65  miles per hour.

Time =Distance / Speed

Time = (3 3/5)/(2/65)

Time =18/5÷2/65

Time =18/5 x 65/2 =117 hours

Now 24 hours =1 day

therefore 117hours =(117hours x 1 day )/ 24 =4.875days.
