A turtle and a snail are 300 feet apart when they start moving toward each other. The turtle walks 5 feet per minute, and the snail crawls 1 foot per minute. How soon will they meet?
The turtle and the snail are moving towards each other at a combined rate of 5 feet + 1 foot = <<5+1=6>>6 feet per minute.
To meet the turtle and the snail need to cover a distance of 300 feet, so it will take them 300 feet รท 6 feet/minute = <<300/6=50>>50 minutes. Answer: \boxed{50}.
