It will take 50 minutes for the turtle and snail to meet.
because they are all moving at feet per minute we can create a formula
total feet = (turtle feet per minute) + (snail feet per minute)
300 = 5m +1m
combine like terms
300 = 6m
divide both sides by 6
50=m

A Turtle and a Snail are 360 meters apart, and they start to move towards each other at 3 p.m. If the Turtle is 11 times as fast as the Snail, and they met at 3:40 p.m., find the speed of each.
