Question

a slug travels 3 centimeters 3 seconds a snail travels 6 centimeters in 6 seconds both travel at constant speed which traveled faster

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

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.
