A snail can crawl 160cm at an avg speed of 4cm/min. If it crawled at an avg speed of 5cm/min instead, how much sooner would it take to reach the destination?

8 minutes sooner

Explanation:

Average speed of snail = 4cm/min

Distance to be covered = 160cm

Time taken for the journey = distance/speed

Time taken for the journey = 160/4

Time taken for the journey = 40 min

If it crawed an average speed of 5cm/min

Distance = 160 cm

Time for the journey = distance/speed

Time for the journey = 160/5

Time for the journey = 32 min

Its going to take the snail 40 min - 32 min to Kno how sooner it will taje it if the average speed is 5cm/min

40 min - 32 min = 8 min
