Question

The equation d=3t represents the relationship between the distance (d) in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the time (t ) in minutes. How far will the snail be from the rock after 9 minutes?

Answer 1

Answer: The snail will be 27 inches from the rock after 9 minutes.

Explanation:

Given : The equation
`d=3t` represents the relationship between the distance (d) in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the time (t ) in minutes.

To find : The distance traveled by snail in 9 minutes.

For that , we substitute t= 9 in the given equation, we get

`d=3(9)=27`

Since , d is representing the distance between snail and a certain rock in inches.

Hence, the snail will be 27 inches from the rock after 9 minutes.

Answer 2

The snail is 27 inches from the rock.

Explanation:

The given equation is d = 3t

d is the distance in inches that a snail is from a certain rock

and t is the time in minutes.

In order to find the distance of snail from the rock in 9 minutes, we substitute t = 9 in the given equation.

On substituting, t=9

`d=3(9)\\d=27\text{ inches}`

Therefore, the snail is 27 inches from the rock.
