Question 831552
The tricky part about these types of problems is that you have to remember to convert feet into yards.
If a snail moves a 2.5 feet per minute, how many feet is that in an hour?
2.5 * 60 = 150 feet per hour
How many yards is that in an hour?
3 feet in a yard
150/3 = 50 yards per hour
.
How much is half of that?
50/2 = 25 yards in a half hour
.
That's a mighty fast snail!
