Question

A snail travels at a rate of 2.45 feet per minute. How far will the snail travel in 8 minutes?

Answer 1

so if the use the formula

\[Speed = \frac{distance}{time}\]

then

distance = Speed x time

Answer 2

or you can set it up as a proportion..
2.45 / 1 = x / 8 --- 2.45 to 1 min = x to 8 min
cross multiply
x = (2.45)(8)
x = 19.6

so he travels 19.6 feet in 8 minutes
