Question

snail can move as much as 2,400 mm in one day. find the distance, in meters, that a snail can move

Explanation:

Step1: Recall unit conversion factor

We know that \(1\) meter \( = 1000\) millimeters, so to convert millimeters to meters, we use the conversion factor \(\frac{1\space m}{1000\space mm}\).

Step2: Convert 2400 mm to meters

Multiply the given distance in millimeters by the conversion factor: \(2400\space mm\times\frac{1\space m}{1000\space mm}=\frac{2400}{1000}\space m = 2.4\space m\)

Answer:

\(2.4\) meters
