A snail moves 1/40 of a mile in 3/4 of an hour. If the snail continues at this pace, how far, in miles, does it move in one hour?
In
hour snail moves
miles
miles
Let us multiply by 4 on both sides, so that we can get the distance to be traveled in 1 hour.
So,
miles
miles
Now to get distance in 1 hour, Let us divide by 3 on both sides
miles
miles
In 1 hour, the snail travels
