Answer:

5/12 inches per minute

Step-by-step explanation:

If A snail crawls 5/8 inches in 3/4 minute, then;

5/8 inches = 3/4 minute

we are to fine the distance covered in a minute;

x inches = 1 minute

Divide both expressions

5/8x = 3/4

24x = 20

12x = 5

x = 5/12

Hence the snail covered 5/12 inches per minute
