Question

A snail travels at a rate of 2.35 feet per minute. Write a rule to describe the function. How far will the snail travel in 5 minutes?

a. d(t) = 5t; 11.75 ft
b. d(t) = t + 2.35; 7.35 ft
c. d(t) = ; 2.13 ft
d. d(t) = 2.35t; 11.75 ft

Answer 1

If you would like to know how far will the snail travel in 5 minutes, you can calculate this using the following steps:

2.35 feet per minute
d(t) = 2.35 feet * t minutes = 2.35 * t
t = 5 minutes
d(5) = 2.35 * 5 = 11.75 feet

The correct result would be d. d(t) = 2.35t; 11.75 ft.
