Solution :

It is given that Little Snail is going to visit one of his friend at the pond which is 3 miles away.

When the snail crawls 1/2 of a mile per day, it will take him,
$1 * (2)/(1) * 3$

= 6 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/3 of a mile per day, it will take him,
$1 * (3)/(1) * 3$

= 9 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 1/4 of a mile per day, it will take him,
$1 * (4)/(1) * 3$

= 12 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 3/4 of a mile per day, it will take him,
$1 * (4)/(3) * 3$

= 4 days to get to the next pond.

When the snail crawls 2/3 of a mile per day, it will take him,
$1 * (3)/(2) * 3$

= 4.5 days to get to the next pond.
