The distance traveled by snail in 9 minutes is:
23.22 feet
It is given that the snail travels at a rate of: 2.58 feet per minute.
We know that the speed is defined as the ratio of distance traveled to the time taken.
i.e.
[tex]Speed=\dfrac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Here the speed is given as: 2.58 feet per minute.
Now, we are asked to find the distance traveled by snail in 9 minutes.
Hence, we have:
[tex]Distance=Speed\times Time\\\\i.e.\\\\Distance=2.58\times 9\\\\i.e.\\\\Distance=23.22\ feet[/tex]
