A snail travels 3 feet in one hour. In each subsequent hour, the snail travels three-fourths the distance it traveled in the previous hour. How far does the snail travel in 6 hours

The answer is 9.9. I just took the test.

Approximately. 71 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

first hour: 3 feet

3 x. 75 = 2.25 feet

second hour: 2.25 feet

2.25 x. 75 = 1.68 feet

third hour: 1.68 feet

1.68 x. 75 = 1.26 feet

fourth hour: 1.26 feet

1.26 x. 75 =.945 feet

fifth hour:.945 feet

.945 x. 75 =.70875 feet

sixth hour: approximately. 71 feet
