Final answer:

The snail traveled 31,464 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

To convert the distance traveled by the snail from miles to inches, we need to convert miles to feet and then feet to inches. We know that there are 2,280 feet in a mile. So, the snail travels 1.15 miles x 2,280 feet/mile = 2,622 feet. Next, we know that there are 12 inches in a foot. So, the snail travels 2,622 feet x 12 inches/foot = 31,464 inches.
