Question

A garden snail travels 0.013 meters per second. If 1 meter = 39.37 inches, how fast is the snail traveling in miles per hour?

Yes I understand conversion problems might be easy for some people but for
Me they are extremely difficult & I honestly don’t understand them, so if someone could help that would be greatly appreciated

Answer 1

We are given

speed=0.013 m/s

so, we can also write as

`v=0.013(m)/(s)`

now, we can change it into miles/hour

so, we know that

1mile =1609.34 m

now, we can find for 1m

`1m=(1)/(1609.34) mile`

we know that

`1s=(1)/(3600)hr`

we can write our speed as

`v=0.013(1m)/(1s)`

we can plug values

`v=0.013((1)/(1609.34) mile)/((1)/(3600)hr)`

now, we can simplify it

so, we get

`v=0.02908mi/hr`...........Answer
