A snail can move approximately 0.30 meters per minute. How many meters can the snail cover in 15 minutes?

Asked by WilmerTandon211

Answer (3)

distance = velocity (or speed) x time so, distance = 0.30 meters.min x 15 mins distance = **4.5 meters **

A snail can move **approximately **0.30 meters per minute then it would cover 4.5 meters in 15 minutes.
What is speed?
The total distance covered by any object per **unit **of time is known as speed. It depends only on the magnitude of the moving object . The unit of **speed **is a meter/second. The generally considered unit for speed is a meter per second.
As given in the problem a snail can **move **approximately 0.30 meters per **minute **and we have to calculate the distance covered in 15 minutes.
speed of the snail = 0.30 meters per minute
time = 15 minutes
**distance **covered by the snail = speed ×time
distance covered by the snail = 0.30 ×15
distance covered by the snail = 4.5 meters
Thus, the distance covered by the **snail **in the 15 minutes would be 4.5 meters.

The snail can cover a distance of 4.5 meters in 15 minutes, calculated using the formula: distance = speed × time. With a speed of 0.30 meters per minute, the total distance is found by multiplying this speed by the time. Thus, the final answer is 4.5 meters.
