Question

The snail moved 6 inches in 120 minutes. What was the average speed of the snail in inches per minute?

Answer 1

1/20 Inch per. Minute

Explanation:

6/120 -->

6/1 x 1/120 --> cancel out 6 and 120 for 1 and 20 respectively

1/1 x 1/20 --> 1 x 1/20 => 1/20

Hope this helps!

Answer 2

0.05 in per min.

Explanation:

We simply divide 6 by 120 to find our unit rate:

6 in/120 min = 1/20 = 0.05 in/1 min
