Answer:
20 mph
Step-by-step explanation:
anyway this was my equation
8/15+52/x=52/x-96
x=156, convert that into hours, which is 2.6, 52/x, which is speed for snail is = 20
I know you're in RSM because I am too. If you need help, asking your teacher is better because they will explain it better.
The speed of the snail is 20 meter per hour
Speed is the ratio of total distance travelled to total time taken. It is given by:
Speed = distance/ time
Let a represent the speed of the the turtle and b the speed of the snail. Hence:
b = a - 32 (1)
Also:
b = 52 / t
t = 52/b
a = 52 / (t + 1.6)
a(t + 1.6) = 52
t = (52 + 1.6a) / a
52/b = 52/a + 1.6
a = 52 meter per hour, b = 20 meter per hour
The speed of the snail is 20 meter per hour
