Question

A snail can move a distance of 2.562 m in 4.2hours what distance can it travel in the one hours

Answer 1

Given:

Distance= 2.562m

Time= 4.2 hours

To find:

Distance travelled in 1 hour

Solution:

Converting the given distance in metre(m) to kilometers(km)

1000m = 1 km

So, 2.562m = 2.562/1000 km

Speed = Distance/Time

= (2.562/1000)/4.2 km/hour

= 0.00061 km/ hour

Or 0.61 m/hour

So the snail can travel 0.61 m in 1 hour.
