Question

On an average day, a garden snail can travel about 0.05 mile. The snail travels 0.2 times as far as the average distance on Day 1. It travels 0.6 times as far as the average distance on Day 2. How far does it travel in two days?

Answer 1

In Two days garden snail travels a distance of 0.04 miles.

Explanation:

Given:

Average Distance traveled = 0. 05 mile

Now Given;

On Day 1 The snail travels 0.2 times as far as the average distance.

Distance on Day 1 can be calculated by multiplying 0.2 with average distance traveled .

Hence;

Day 1 distance =
`0.2 * 0.05 =0.01miles`

Also Given:

On Day 2 The snail travels 0.6 times as far as the average distance.

Distance on Day 2 can be calculated by multiplying 0.6 with average distance traveled .

Hence;

Day 2 distance =
`0.6 * 0.05 =0.03miles`

Now we need to find the Total Distance travel in two days.

the Total Distance travel in two days can be calculated as sum of Distance traveled in day 1 and distance traveled in day 2

Hence Total Distance travel in two days = Day 1 distance + Day 2 distance =
`0.01+0.03= 0.04 \ miles`

Hence Total Distance traveled by snail in two days is 0.04 miles.
