Answer 1

6 feet per minute.

Answer 2

6 feet per minute.

Explanation:

The turtle and snail are moving towards each other, so their speeds add up. Therefore, the combined speed at which they approach each other is:

5 feet/min (turtle's speed) + 1 feet/min (snail's speed) = 6 feet/min

Therefore, the turtle and snail are approaching each other at a speed of 6 feet per minute.
