Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by the snail, d = 300 cm

Time taken, t = 1 hour

(a) Speed of the snail is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{300\ cm}{1\ h}[/tex]

v = 300 cm/h

(b) Since, 1 hour = 60 minutes

Speed of the snail is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{d}{t}[/tex]

[tex]v=\dfrac{300\ cm}{60\ min}[/tex]

v = 5 cm/min

(c) Since, 1 meter = 100 cm

Distance, d = 3 meter

Speed of the snail is given by :

[tex]v=\dfrac{3\ m}{1\ h}[/tex]

v = 3 m/h

Hence, this is the required solution.
