To find out how many minutes it would take for a garden snail to travel 230 cm at a speed of 1.6 cm/min, you can use the formula:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 230 cm and the speed is 1.6 cm/min. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{230 \, \text{cm}}{1.6 \, \text{cm/min}}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Time} = 143.75 \, \text{minutes}
\]
Therefore, it would take the garden snail 143.75 minutes to travel 230 cm.
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Speed}}
\]
In this case, the distance is 230 cm and the speed is 1.6 cm/min. Plugging in the values:
\[
\text{Time} = \frac{230 \, \text{cm}}{1.6 \, \text{cm/min}}
\]
Calculating this gives:
\[
\text{Time} = 143.75 \, \text{minutes}
\]
Therefore, it would take the garden snail 143.75 minutes to travel 230 cm.
