Question

If a snail is traveling at a rate of 1 inch per minute how many miles per hour is the snail traveling, give in scientific notation

Answer 1

well multiply both distance and time by 60 this will change the times taken to 1 hour

then you have 60 inches/hr

now divide 60 inches by 12 to get feet and divide the answer by the number of feet in a mile.
