Nail moves at a speed of 2.394 inches per minute. If the snail keeps moving at this rate, about how many inches will it travel in 7.489 minutes?

From the given question we come to know of certain facts.

The snail moves at a speed of 2.934 inches per minute.

So the distance covered by the snail in 1 minute = 2.934 inches

Now

We have to find out the distance travelled by the snail in 7.489 inches.

For finding the result we have to make use of the details that have been provided in this question.

So

In 1 minute the snail moves = 2.934 inches

Then

In 7.489 minutes the snail moves = (2.934 * 7.489) inches

= 21.972 inches

so the snail moves 21.972 inches in 7.489 minutes.
