Answer:a minute and 20 seconds,

Explanation:

2/3+2/3= 4/3 = 1 1/3

One third of a minute is 20 seconds and you have a whole number of one :)

at this rate, it would take the snail 80 seconds to travel at centimeter.

2/3 of a minute is 40 seconds

if it takes 40 seconds to move half a centimeter, it would take 80 to move a full centimeter
