    Step-by-step explanation:

    Convert 6 hours to minutes so that 6 hours and 16. 3 minutes can be in the same units.

    Since 1 hour = 60 minutes, then 6 hours = 6 x 60 minutes = 360 minutes

    Since the insect has more minutes to crawl (360 minutes), then we expect more inches to be covered. Therefore, the ratio is 360 minutes to 16.3 minutes

    = 360 minutes : 16.3 minutes

    = 360 : 16.3

    Now express the ratio as fraction and relate it with 30 inches

    = 360/16.3 x 30/1

    = 10800/16.3

    = 662.576687 and this is approximately 650 inches

    Answer = 650 = (C)
