a snail travels about 0.13 cm in one minutes.how far would it travel in 7 minutes if it keeps up the same speed?About how long would it take to go 3 m?
7 * 0.13 = ?
0.13/1 = 300/x
Cross multiply and solve for x.

To find out how far the snail would travel in 7 minutes, we can simply multiply its speed by the time. The snail travels at a speed of 0.13 cm per minute for 7 minutes, so the distance it would travel in 7 minutes is:
Distance = Speed x Time
Distance = 0.13 cm/minute x 7 minutes
Distance = 0.91 cm
Therefore, the snail would travel approximately 0.91 cm in 7 minutes.
To determine how long it would take for the snail to cover a distance of 3 meters, we need to convert the units. Since 1 meter is equal to 100 centimeters, we can use this conversion to find the time taken.
Distance = Speed x Time
3 meters = 0.13 cm/minute x Time
Now, we need to rearrange the equation to solve for Time:
Time = Distance / Speed
Time = (3 meters x 100 cm/meter) / 0.13 cm/minute
Time = 2307.69 minutes
Therefore, it would take the snail approximately 2307.69 minutes to travel a distance of 3 meters, assuming it maintains the same speed.
