Answer 1

8 1/3 hours :)))))))))))))))))

12x=100
X=100/12
X= 8 1/3

Answer 2

snail will take 8 hours and 20 minutes to crawl 1 meter.

Explanation:

In this question we can calculate the time traveled by snail in 1 meter by applying unitary method.

∵ Snail crawls 12 centimeter distance in the time = 1 hour

∴ Snail crawls 1 centimeter in the time =
`(1)/(12)` hour

∴ Snail will crawl 100 centimeters (1 meter) =
`(100)/(12)` hours

=
`8(1)/(3)` hours

= 8hours 20minutes

Therefore, snail will take 8 hours and 20 minutes to crawl 1 meter.
