b. how far will the snail travel in 9 minutes?

Answer

As given

A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet per minute.

First write a rule to describe the function.

Let a is denoted the distance.

t is the time

Thus the function becomes

a =  2.58 × t

a = 2.58t

This denoted the distance travelled in t time.

Second how far will the snail travel in 9 minutes .

Put t = 9 mintues in the above equation.

a =  2.58 × 9

a = 23.22 feet

Therefore the distance travelled in 9 mintues are  23.22 feet .
