2.37t = feet, where t is time, in minutes. for 6 minutes we do 2.37(6) = 14.22 feet

Answer:

a. f(t)=2.37t

b. 14.22 feet

Explanation:

We are given that:

A snail travels at a rate of 2.37 feet per minute.

a. write a rule to describe a function.

Let t describe the time and f(t) be a function how far snail travels

then, f(t)=2.37×t

where the unit of t is in minutes and that of f(t) is feet

b. how far will the snail travel in 6 minutes

we have to find f(t) at t=6

f(6)= 2.37×6

= 14.22 feet

Hence, snail traveled 14.22 feet in 6 minutes
