Make a reasonable estimate for the situation. A snail moves at a speed of 3.395 inches per minute. If the snail keeps moving at this rate, about how many inches will it travel in 6.187 minutes?

Distance = 21.0049 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following data;

Speed = 3.395 inches per minute.

Time = 6.187 minutes

To find the distance;

Distance = speed * time

Substituting into the equation, we have;

Distance = 3.395 * 6.187

Distance = 21.0049

the 8 in 8,420 is in the thousands place so it's value is 8 thousand.

the 8 in 6,870 is in the hundreds place so it's value is 8 hundred.

divide 8000 by 800 to find the answer:

8000 / 800 = 10

the 8 in 8,420 is 10 times greater than the 8 in 6,870
