Hi there! To solve this problem, we can set up a proportion. First, let’s convert the 6 hours into minutes. 60 * 6 is 360. 360 minutes are in 6 hours. Let’s set up our proportion like this: 2/90 = x/360. We format it like this, because we are looking for the amount of feet. Let’s cross multiply. When we do that, we get 720 = 90x. Now, divide each side by 90 to isolate the x. 720/90 is 8. You can plug this in to see if t works. If you look at it, you see that 90 goes into 360 4 times, so multiply 2 by 4 to get 8. There. A snail will travel 8 feet in 6 hours. x = 8.
