A. 33 in./min
B. 3.3 in./min
C. 0.33 in./min

Respuesta :

Answer:

0.33m/min

Explanation:

speed=distance/time

speed=5/15

speed=0.33in/min

The speed with which the snail crawls is 0.33in/min.

Hence, Option C) 0.33in/min is the correct answer.

Given the data in the question;

  • Distance covered; [tex]d = 5 in[/tex]
  • Time taken; [tex]t = 15min[/tex]

Speed; [tex]s =\ ?[/tex]

Speed is the rate at which an object covers a certain distance. It is expressed as:

[tex]s = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]

We substitute our given values into the equation

[tex]s = \frac{5in}{15min} \\\\s = 0.33in/min[/tex]

The speed with which the snail crawls is 0.33in/min.

Hence, Option C) 0.33in/min is the correct answer.
