Question

A snail travels at a rate of 2.37 feet per minute. Write a rule to describe the function. How far will the snail travel is 6 minutes?

Answer 1

1. translate into an equation

2.37ft / 1minute × #minutes = #of feet traveled

in function form:
2.37x = f(x) = y

2. plug in the value for x

2.37 × 6 = y
y = 14.22
