I know this is old but

d(t) = 2.36t; 14.16ft

By definition we have to:
d = v * t
Where,
d: distance
v: speed
t: time
Substituting values:
d (t) = 2.36t
For t = 6 we have:
d (6) = 2.36 * (6)
d (6) = 14.16 feet
Answer:
a rule to describe the function is:
d (t) = 2.36t
the snail will travel 14.16 feet in 6 minutes
C. d (t) = 2.36t; 14.16 ft
