Most likely 1/20 of an inch because letters C and D are irrelevant and if the snail moved 1/2 of an inch per minute, the snail would've travelled well over six inches within 120 minutes.

Answer:

Option A.

Explanation:

It is given that snail moved 6 inches in 120 minutes.

Distance = 6 inches

Time = 120 minutes

We need to find the average speed of the snail in inches per minute.

Formula for speed is

[tex]Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

Substitute Distance = 6 and Time = 120 in the above formula.

[tex]Speed=\dfrac{6}{120}[/tex]

Cancel out common factors.

[tex]Speed=\dfrac{1}{20}[/tex]

The speed of the snail is 1/20 inches per minute

Therefore, the correct option is A.
