Open in App

Solution

Speed of a snail:
Total distance travelled by snail = 100 m = 0.1 km
Total time taken = 50 h
Average speed of the snail = $\frac{D i s t a n c e c o v e r e d b y s n a i l}{T i m e s p e n t}$ = $\frac{0.1}{50}$ = 0.002 km/h.
Final Answer: The average speed of snail is 0.002 km/h.
