10/4 is 2.5. The snail travels 2.5 cms ever min. So 24/2.5 is 9.6 so the snail takes 9 mins and 36 seconds.

Answer:

It will take 9.6 minutes to travel 24 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Distance covered by snail = 10 cm,

Time taken = 4 minutes,

So, speed of snail = [tex]\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]=\frac{10}{4}[/tex]

= 2.5 cm per minute.

Now, if distance = 24,

[tex]\implies 2.5 =\frac{24}{Time}[/tex]

[tex]\implies Time = \frac{24}{2.5}=9.6\text{ minutes}[/tex]
