3. A snail travels at a rate of 2.58 feet per minute.
a. Write a rule to describe the function.
b. How far will the snail travel in 9 minutes?

A. d(t) = 2.58t; 23.22 ft

B. d(t) = 9t; 23.22 ft

C. d(t) = t/2.58; 3.49 ft

D. d(t) = t + 2.58; 11.58 ft

B. d(t) = 9t; 23.22 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

m= minutes  

2.58*m  

2.58*9=23.22

The snail will travel 23.32 feet 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 .

2.58m

So, in m you write the minutes.

2.58*9=23.22 feet per minute

12.5 feet
