The speed with which the snail crawls is 0.33in/min.
Hence, Option C) 0.33in/min is the correct answer.
Given the data in the question;
- Distance covered; [tex]d = 5 in[/tex]
- Time taken; [tex]t = 15min[/tex]
Speed; [tex]s =\ ?[/tex]
Speed is the rate at which an object covers a certain distance. It is expressed as:
[tex]s = \frac{d}{t}[/tex]
We substitute our given values into the equation
[tex]s = \frac{5in}{15min} \\\\s = 0.33in/min[/tex]
The speed with which the snail crawls is 0.33in/min.
Hence, Option C) 0.33in/min is the correct answer.
