-------
rate = distance/time = 6 inches/22 min * (6*60/22)/22(60/22) inches/min
----
= (360/22) inches/(60min) = 16.36 inches/hr

His rate is [ distance ] / [ time ] = +6%2F+22+=+3%2F11+ in/min
----------------
How far can the snail go in an hour?
Convert minutes to hours
+11%2F60+ hrs
+d+=+r%2At+
+d+=+%28+3%2F%28+11%2F60+%29+%29%2A1+
+d+=+3%2A%28+60%2F11+%29+
+d+=+180%2F11+
+d+=+16.364+
The snail can go 16.364 inches in an hour
-----------------
check:
+16.364+=+%283%2F11%29%2A60+
This is: [ inches ] = [ in/min ]
+16.364+=+180%2F11+
+16.364+=+16.364+
OK
