Question

Which equation represents the number of inches (i) a snail crawls if it crawls 7.6 inches per hour (h)? How far will the snail crawl in 8 hours?

A. i = 7.6h, 1.05 inches
B. h = 7.6i, 60.8 inches
C. h = 7.6i, 1.05 inches
D. i = 7.6h, 60.8 inches

Answer 1

In 8 hours, the snail crawls 7.6 inches * 8 = 60.8 inches.

The units for 7.6 is inch/hr, i is inch, and h is hr. So i = 7.6h.



The correct answer is (D).
