Question

If a snail can crawl 2/ 3 yard in 1/5 hour, how many yards can the snail crawl in 1 hour?

Answer 1

Hi,
The answer is 1219/3000000 Km/Hr
How I got my answer:
Convert yard to foot
3 foot=1 yard
2/3*3=2 foot
Now convert foot to km
1 foot=0.0003047 km
2 foot= 0.0003047*2
2 foot= 0.0006095 km
speed(yards can the snail crawl in 1 hour)=distance/time
speed=0.0006095/1.5 Km/Hr
speed=0.006095/15 Km/Hr
speed=0.001219/3 Km/Hr
speed=1219/3000000 Km/Hr
Hope this helps you.

Answer 2

`\begin{array}{ccc}(2)/(3)\ yd&-&(1)/(5)\ h\\\\x\ yd&-&1\ h\end{array}\ \ \ \ |cross\ multiply\\\\\\(1)/(5)\cdot x=1\cdot(2)/(3)\\\\(1)/(5)x=(2)/(3)\ \ \ \ |\cdot5\\\\x=(10)/(3)\\\\x=3(1)/(3)\ yd`

Answer: The snail can crawl 3 1/3 yd in 1 hour .
