3. If a snail moves [tex]1 \times \frac{1}{2} [/tex] feet in [tex]3 \times \frac{3}{4} [/tex] hours, what is its speed in feet per hour? Show your work and simplify your answer.
We know that the snail lives 1 x 1/2 feet in 3 x 3/4 hours. First you have to simplify or solve the expressions. 1 x 1/2 is equal to 1/2 and 3 x 3/4 is 9/4 or 2.25 in decimal form.
You need to divide 2.25 by 1/2 or 0.5 which is 4.5.
