We are given that a snail's rate is i/m inches/minute. Since 1 foot = 12 inches, in feet per minute, the snail’s rate is:

i/m x 1/12 = i/12

We need to determine how far it will move in h hours or 60h minutes.

Since distance = rate x time:

distance = i/12m x 60h = 5hi/m

i inches in m minutes IS $$\frac{i}{12}$$ ft in $$\frac{m}{60}$$ hr
so $$\frac{60}{m}*\frac{i}{12}=\frac{5i}{m}$$ in 1 hour..
so $$\frac{5hi}{m}$$ in h hour..
A

not 700 level and not a very good Q in terms of variable used..----- i inches , m minutes ad h hour
