Question

Snail B 3 inches in 20 minutes 3. How far can snail B travel in 2 hours? ____________ inches Show how you figured this out.

Answer 1

To find out how far snail B can travel in 2 hours, we need to first calculate the distance it travels in 1 hour, and then multiply that by 2.

Since snail B travels 3 inches in 20 minutes, we can calculate its speed as 3 inches / 20 minutes = 0.15 inches per minute.

To find the distance traveled in 1 hour, we multiply the speed by 60 (number of minutes in an hour): 0.15 inches/minute * 60 minutes = 9 inches.

Therefore, snail B can travel 9 inches in 1 hour.

To find the distance traveled in 2 hours, we simply multiply this by 2: 9 inches/hour * 2 hours = 18 inches.

So, snail B can travel 18 inches in 2 hours.
