Question

If your constant of proportionality is 10inches in one minute how do you find how many minutes it takes for a snail to move 85 inches

Answer 1

Ok it would be 8 1/2 minutes

Explanation:

Because if it goes 10 inches a minute that mean 80 inches is 8 minutes and 5 is half of 10 so it will take have the time so that equals 30 seconds

So ur answer is 8 1/2 minutes

Answer 2

8.5 min

Explanation:

Here, distance = rate times time. The rate is 10 in/min, and so

d = (10 in/min)t.

If the snail travels 85 in, then 85 in = (10 in/min)t, and we solve for t as follows:

t = (85 in) / (10 in/min) = 8.5 min
