A turtle and a snail are 300 feet apart when they start moving towards each other. The turtle is moving at a speed of 5 feet per minute, and the snail is moving at a speed of 1 foot per minute.
a
How fast are they approaching each other?
5 + 1 = 6 feet per minute
5+1=6 feet per minute
5+1=6
5+1=6 feet per minute
The turtle is going 5 feet per min, and the snail is going 6 feet per min.
So if you were to add 5 and 1 you would get 6. They are going 6 feet per min.
