A garden snail travels 0.013 meters per second. If 1 meter = 39.37 inches, how fast is the snail traveling in miles per hour?

Yes I understand conversion problems might be easy for some people but for
Me they are extremely difficult & I honestly don’t understand them, so if someone could help that would be greatly appreciated

Respuesta :

We are given

speed=0.013 m/s

so, we can also write as

[tex]v=0.013\frac{m}{s}[/tex]

now, we can change it into miles/hour

so, we know that

1mile =1609.34 m

now, we can find for 1m

[tex]1m=\frac{1}{1609.34} mile[/tex]

we know that

[tex]1s=\frac{1}{3600}hr[/tex]

we can write our speed as

[tex]v=0.013\frac{1m}{1s}[/tex]

we can plug values

[tex]v=0.013\frac{\frac{1}{1609.34} mile}{\frac{1}{3600}hr}[/tex]

now, we can simplify it

so, we get

[tex]v=0.02908mi/hr[/tex]...........Answer
