Asnail moves 1/40 of a mile in 5/6 of an hour. if the snail continues at this pace, how far, in miles, does it move in one hour?

Solution:

As per the problem

A snail moves 1/40 of a mile in 5/6 of an hour.

We have been asked to find how far, in miles, does it move in one hour?

Since the snail moves 1/40 of a mile in 5/6 of an hour.

So the snail will moves of a mile in hours.

So snail moves miles in 1 hour.

miles does it move in one hour

Step-by-step explanation:

Unit rate is defined as the rate are expressed as the quantity as 1 such as 3 miles per hour or 4 meter per second.

As per the statement:

A snail moves 1/40 of a mile in 5/6 of an hour. If the snail continues at this pace.

By definition of unit rate:

⇒ miles

Therefore, miles does it move in one hour

area = length x width

length = 2 x width

32 = 2 x width x width

32 = 2 x width^2

36 = width ^2  

width = 6

length = 12

area is 32

perimeter = 2 x 12 + 2 x 6 = 24 + 12 = 36
