Answer:

9.6 minutes.

Explanation:

First we need to find how many minutes it takes the snail to travel 1 cm.

to do this we need to divide the time it takes by the distance traveled.

4 ÷ 10 = 0.4. So, the snail takes 0.4 minutes to travel 1 cm.

Next we need to find how long it takes to travel 24 cm.

to do do that we need to multiply how long it takes the snail to travel 1 cm by the number of cm it needs to travel.

0.4 x 24 = 9.6. So, it takes the snail 9.6 minutes to travel 24 cm.
