Both traveled the same speed: 3cm/3s= 1m/s and 6cm/6s= 1m/s

Answer:

Both slug and snail traveled with the same speed.

Explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by slug = 3 cm,

Time taken = 3 seconds,


Speed = (Distance)/(Time)

So, the speed of the slug =
(3)/(3)

= 1 cm per sec,

Now, distance covered by snail = 6,

Time taken = 6 seconds,

So, the speed of the snail =
(6)/(6)

= 1 cm per seconds,

Hence, both slug and snail traveled with the same speed.
