Question

a garden snail moves 1/8 foot in 3/10 minute. What is the garden snail's rate of movement in feet per minute

Answer 1

Answer: 1/8 foot * 1/3 = 1/24 of every 1/10 minute

then, 1/24 * 10 = 10/24 or 5/12

Answer 2

1/8 / 3 = 1/8 x 1/3 = 1/24 of a foot every 1/10 minute

1/24 x 10 = 10/24 = 5/12 foot per minute
