A snail moved 0.14 m between two cabbages in 3.0 minutes. The average speed of the snail is

.14/3 or .047 m per min

I might do it in m/s though

.14 / 180 = 7.77 * 10^-4 m/s
= .000777 m/s

To calculate the average speed of the snail, we need to divide the distance it traveled by the time it took.

The distance traveled by the snail is 0.14 m.
The time taken by the snail is 3.0 minutes.

We can use the formula:
Average speed = Distance / Time

Plugging in the values:
Average speed = 0.14 m / 3.0 min

To get the answer in meters per minute, we simply divide the distance by the time:
Average speed = 0.0467 m/min

Therefore, the average speed of the snail is approximately 0.0467 m/min.

To calculate the average speed of the snail, we need to divide the distance traveled by the time taken.

In this case, the snail moved a distance of 0.14 meters and it took 3.0 minutes.

To convert minutes to seconds, we need to multiply by 60:
3.0 minutes * 60 seconds/minute = 180 seconds

Now we have the distance in meters and the time in seconds.

Average speed = Distance / Time
Average speed = 0.14 meters / 180 seconds

To simplify the calculation, we will convert meters per second (m/s) to centimeters per second (cm/s) by multiplying by 100:
Average speed = 0.14 meters / 180 seconds * 100 cm/m
Average speed = 14 cm / 180 seconds

Now we can divide the numerator and the denominator by the greatest common divisor (GCD) to simplify the fraction:
GCD(14, 180) = 2
Average speed = 7 cm / 90 seconds

So, the average speed of the snail is 7 cm/s.
