Question

A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet per minute. Write a rule to describe the function. How far will the snail travel in 9 minutes?

Answer 1

23.22, I hope this helped, I got it by multiplying the two numbers, or, multiplying 2.58 by 9. the rule is multiply by 9

Answer 2

The distance traveled by snail in 9 minutes is:

23.22 feet

Explanation:

It is given that the snail travels at a rate of: 2.58 feet per minute.

We know that the speed is defined as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.

i.e.

`Speed=(Distance)/(Time)`

Here the speed is given as: 2.58 feet per minute.

Now, we are asked to find the distance traveled by snail in 9 minutes.

Hence, we have:

`Distance=Speed* Time\\\\i.e.\\\\Distance=2.58* 9\\\\i.e.\\\\Distance=23.22\ feet`
