A slug travels 3 centimetres in 3 seconds.A snail travels 6 centimetres in 6 seconds. Mai says, "The snail is traveling faster because it went a greater distance". Do you agree with Mai explain or show your reasoning

Answer:

No, Mai's reasoning is incorrect

Explanation:

They are actually going the same speed because their centimeter per second ratio is the same. this can be found by dividing them both down, divide the slug by three and the snail by 6 and they both end up the same centimeter/second ratio. (1:1)

Sorry idk how to explain it good but do you get it?
