Question

A snail travels 12 centimeters in 4 minutes. The snail travels the same distance each minute how many millimeters did the snail travel each minute

Answer 1

Answer:

In this question we can calculate the time traveled by snail in 1 meter by applying unitary method.

∵ Snail crawls 12 centimeter distance in the time = 1 hour

∴ Snail crawls 1 centimeter in the time

$= > \frac{1}{12} hour$

∴ Snail will crawl 100 centimeters (1 meter)

$= > \frac{100}{12} hours \:$

$= > 8 \frac{1}{3} hours$

  = 8hours 20minutes

Therefore, snail will take 8 hours and 20 minutes to crawl 1 meter.
