If a snail can move 3/10 of a meter every 1/12 hour, what is the speed of the snail in meters per hour?

3/10*12=36/10=3 3/5 m/hr ?????

Correct.

Thank you!

You're welcome.

To calculate the speed of the snail in meters per hour, we need to determine how many meters the snail can travel in one hour.

First, let's convert 1/12 hour to minutes. Since there are 60 minutes in an hour, 1/12 hour is equal to (1/12) * 60 = 5 minutes.

Next, we can determine how many times the snail can move 3/10 of a meter within 5 minutes. To do this, we divide 5 minutes by 1/12 hour:

5 minutes / (1/12 hour) = 5 minutes * (12/1 hour) = 5 * 12 = 60

This means that the snail can move 3/10 of a meter 60 times in one hour.

Now, we can calculate the total distance the snail can travel in one hour by multiplying the distance traveled in one movement by the total number of movements:

(3/10 meter/movement) * 60 movements = 18 meters

Therefore, the speed of the snail is 18 meters per hour.
