Answer:
[tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet per hour.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given that a snail travels 3/8 feet in 1/2 hour.
To find distance traveled by snail per hour, we will divide total distance by total time as:
[tex]\text{Distance traveled by snail per hour}=\frac{3}{8}\div \frac{1}{2}[/tex]
Convert to multiplication problem by flipping the 2nd fraction:
[tex]\text{Distance traveled by snail per hour}=\frac{3}{8}\times \frac{2}{1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance traveled by snail per hour}=\frac{3\times 2}{8\times 1}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance traveled by snail per hour}=\frac{6}{8}[/tex]
[tex]\text{Distance traveled by snail per hour}=\frac{3}{4}[/tex]
Therefore, the snail travels [tex]\frac{3}{4}[/tex] feet in one hour.
