Question

A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet per minute.

a. Write a rule to describe the function.

b. How far will the snail travel in 9 minutes?



A. d(t) = 9t; 23.22 ft



B. d(t) =
`(t)/(2.58)`; 3.49 ft



C. d(t) = t + 2.58; 11.58 ft



D. d(t) = 2.58t; 23.22 ft

Answer 1

m= minutes

2.58*m

2.58*9=23.22

The snail will travel 23.32 feet in 9 minutes.

Explanation:

Answer

As given

A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet per minute.

First write a rule to describe the function.

Let a is denoted the distance.

t is the time

Thus the function becomes

a = 2.58 × t

a = 2.58t

This denoted the distance travelled in t time.

Second how far will the snail travel in 9 minutes .

Put t = 9 mintues in the above equation.

a = 2.58 × 9

a = 23.22 feet

Therefore the distance travelled in 9 mintues are 23.22 feet .
