Answer:

A. It will take 3 minutes for the snail to travel 9 inches

B. It will travel 27 inches in 9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do the first part by replacing d with 9. This is because we are looking for how long it will take to reach a certain distance.

9=3t

t=3

It will take 3 minutes for the snail to travel 9 inches

Next step, we replace t with 9 because we are looking for how much distance it will cover over a certain amount of time

d=3(9)

d=27

It will travel 27 inches in 9 minutes

a. How many minutes does it take the snail to get 9 inches from the rock?

d = 3t

t = d/3

t = (9) / 3

t = 3

It takes 3 minutes the snail takes the snail to get 9 inches from the rock.

b. How far will the snail be from the rock after 9 minutes?

d = 3(9)

d = 27

27 inches far.
