The equation d = 3t represents the relationship between the distance (d) in inches that a snail is from a certain rock and the time (t) in minutes. a. How many minutes does it take the snail to get 9 inches from the rock? b. How far will the snail be from the rock after 9 minutes?

A. It will take 3 minutes for the snail to travel 9 inches

B. It will travel 27 inches in 9 minutes

Step-by-step explanation:

We can do the first part by replacing d with 9. This is because we are looking for how long it will take to reach a certain distance.

9=3t

t=3

It will take 3 minutes for the snail to travel 9 inches

Next step, we replace t with 9 because we are looking for how much distance it will cover over a certain amount of time

d=3(9)

d=27

It will travel 27 inches in 9 minutes

a. How many minutes does it take the snail to get 9 inches from the rock?

d = 3t

t = d/3

t = (9) / 3

t = 3

It takes 3 minutes the snail takes the snail to get 9 inches from the rock.

b. How far will the snail be from the rock after 9 minutes?

d = 3(9)

d = 27

27 inches far.

good job you smart son of a gun you are smarter that einstein. 7

step-by-step explanation:

you can add the two numbers and divide the result by 2. or you can find the gap between the two numbers and add half of this to the smaller number.
