Snail B 3 inches in 20 minutes 3. How far can snail B travel in 2 hours? ____________ inches Show how you figured this out.
To find out how far snail B can travel in 2 hours, we need to first calculate the distance it travels in 1 hour, and then multiply that by 2.
Since snail B travels 3 inches in 20 minutes, we can calculate its speed as 3 inches / 20 minutes = 0.15 inches per minute.
To find the distance traveled in 1 hour, we multiply the speed by 60 (number of minutes in an hour): 0.15 inches/minute * 60 minutes = 9 inches.
Therefore, snail B can travel 9 inches in 1 hour.
To find the distance traveled in 2 hours, we simply multiply this by 2: 9 inches/hour * 2 hours = 18 inches.
So, snail B can travel 18 inches in 2 hours.
To find out how far Snail B can travel in 2 hours, we will use the information given: Snail B travels 3 inches in 20 minutes.
First, let's convert the unit of time from minutes to hours. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so 20 minutes is equivalent to 20/60 = 1/3 hours.
Next, we can calculate the distance Snail B travels in 1 hour. Since Snail B travels 3 inches in 1/3 hours, we can multiply 3 by 3 to get the distance in 1 hour:
3 inches/hour × 3 = 9 inches/hour.
Finally, we can find the distance Snail B can travel in 2 hours by multiplying the distance in 1 hour by 2:
9 inches/hour × 2 = 18 inches.
Therefore, Snail B can travel 18 inches in 2 hours.
