Question

A slug travels 3 centimeters in 3 minutes. A snail travels 6 centimeters in 6 minutes. Both travel at constant speeds. Mai says, “The snail was traveling faster because it went a greater distance.” Do you agree with Mai's reasoning

Answer 1

No

Explanation:

If you find the rate, they are the same.

3 minutes/3= 1 minute

3cm/3= 1 cm

Slug= 1 cm per minute

6 minutes/6= 1 minute

6cm/6= 1 cm

Snail= 1 cm per minute
