A snail moved 0.49 m/h how far will it move in 52 minutes.

Question

Velocity and distance

Answer 1

Hi Leilanny - thank you for your question. To complete this problem, you need to either convert the hours to minutes, or the minutes to hours, and set up a proportion. I think it's easier to think of 1 hour as 60 minutes, so your proportion would be: 0.49 miles is to 60 minutes, as X is to 52 minutes.
