Question

use the table below to answer questions 8 & 9. select the best answer. the table shows the maximum speed in miles per hour for various animals 8.the speed of a snail is how many times that of a cat? a $\frac{1}{1000}$ b $\frac{1}{100}$ c 100 d 1000

animal	mi/h
zebra	40
cat (domestic)	30
black mamba snake	20
snail	0.03

Explanation:

Step1: Identify relevant speeds

Speed of snail = 0.03 mi/h, speed of cat = 30 mi/h

Step2: Calculate the ratio

Ratio = $\frac{\text{Speed of snail}}{\text{Speed of cat}}=\frac{0.03}{30}$
$=\frac{3}{3000}=\frac{1}{1000}$

Answer:

A. $\frac{1}{1000}$
