Question

El caracol de granja se desplaza a una velocidad media de 5,8 m/h, mientras que el caracol común de jardín lo hace a 13,9 mm/s. ¿Cuál de los dos es más rápido?

Answer 1

The common garden snail is faster than the farm snail

Explanation:

The question in English is

The farm snail moves at an average speed of 5.8 m/h, while the common garden snail moves at 13.9 mm/sec. Which of the two is faster?

we have

The farm snail moves at an average speed of 5.8 m/h

The common garden snail moves at an average speed of 13.9 mm/sec

Remember that

`1\ m=1,000\ mm`

`1\ h=3,600\ sec`

Convert m/h to mm/sec

`5.8(m)/(h)=5.8((1,000)/(3,600))= 1.61(mm)/(sec)`

Compare the values

`13.9(mm)/(sec) > 1.61(mm)/(sec)`

therefore

The common garden snail is faster than the farm snail
