Answer 2

So, first of all, let's convert the fraction
`(3)/(8)` into a decimal, which would be 0.375 (3 divided by 8)

The snail travels this far in 3 minutes. To find out how far it travels in nine minutes, we have to find out how many times 3 goes into 9.

9 / 3 = 3

Now. we simply multiply our decimal by three in order to get our answer!

0.375 x 3 = 1.125 inches

The answer is 1.125 inches!
