The snail moved 6 inches in 120 minutes. What was the average speed of the snail in inches per minute?

Answer:
Option A) Speed = 1/20 of an inch per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
Distance = 6 inches
Time = 120 mins
Required:
Average Speed = ?
Formula:
Average Speed = Total Distance Covered / Total Time Taken
Solution:
Speed = 6/120
Speed = 1/20 of an inch per minute
Answer:
[tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex] of an Inch per minute
Step-by-step explanation:
Speed = Distance ÷ Time
So....
6 ÷ 120 = 0.05 or [tex]\frac{1}{20}[/tex]
Also by process of elimination
[tex]\frac{1}{2}[/tex] of an inch per min would complete 6 inches in 12 min.
2 inches per min would complete 6 inches in 3 min
20 inches per minute would complete 6 inches in a few seconds.
