tuesday

1. a snail travels 10 cm in 4 minutes. at this rate,
2. how long will it take the snail to travel 24 cm?
3. how far does the snail travel in 6 minutes?

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate speed of the snail

$\text{Velocidad} = \frac{10\ \text{cm}}{4\ \text{min}} = 2.5\ \text{cm/min}$

Step2: Find time for 24 cm

$\text{Tiempo} = \frac{\text{Distancia}}{\text{Velocidad}} = \frac{24\ \text{cm}}{2.5\ \text{cm/min}} = 9.6\ \text{min}$

Step3: Find distance for 6 minutes

$\text{Distancia} = \text{Velocidad} \times \text{Tiempo} = 2.5\ \text{cm/min} \times 6\ \text{min} = 15\ \text{cm}$

Answer:

1. 9.6 minutes
2. 15 cm
