Answer:
8 minutes sooner
Step-by-step explanation:
Average speed of snail= 4cm/min
Distance to be covered = 160cm
Time taken for the journey = distance/speed
Time taken for the journey = 160/4
Time taken for the journey = 40 min
If it crawed an average speed of 5cm/min
Distance = 160 cm
Time for the journey = distance/speed
Time for the journey = 160/5
Time for the journey = 32 min
Its going to take the snail 40 min - 32 min to Kno how sooner it will taje it if the average speed is 5cm/min
40 min - 32 min = 8 min
