A snail crawled 2/5 of a centimeter in 2 minutes. How fast did the snail crawl?
Simplify your answer and write it as a proper fraction, mixed number, or whole number.

Answer

To find the speed of the snail in centimeters per minute, divide the distance by the time:

Speed = (2/5) cm / 2 min = (2/5) / 2 = 2/5 * 1/2 = 2/10 = 1/5 cm per minute.

The snail crawled 1/5 centimeters per minute.
