1/1000 or .001 mps
A snail in England won a snail race being clocked at .0033 mph...so I'd have to say maybe .0025 would be about the norm for a non-racing snail?
Total distance 10 m. Distance travelled 0.15 + 0.112 = 0.262, leaving 9.738 m to go
The garden snail is the fastest land snail. It can travel at a speed of 0.03 miles per hour. Snails are gastropods that move by crawling on a single foot.
0.03 mph
1/1000 or .001 mps
Speed of a common Snail: Foot/second: 0.001 Km/hour: 0.003 Miles per hour: 0.004 or about one millimetre per second.
Multiply 0.30 (meters/minute) by 15 (minutes) to get your answer. The "/minute" and "minutes" will cancel out when you do so, leaving your answer in meters.
The snail moves 0.3m per minute.
A "snail year" is 1.52 miles. A snail moving at a consistant pace travels 11 inches per hour.
A "snail year" is 1.52 miles. A snail moving at a consistant pace travels 11 inches per hour.
0.02 x 1600meters(1mile) = 32meters/1600seconds = 0.02m or 2cm and snail move way slower than this
Very slowly: about 0.019 mph
15 minutes(.30 meters / minutes) = 4.5 meters
Approximately as close as a garden snail is to winning at Daytona.

Let's say we have a snail travelling at 4 metres per hour. In an hour there are 60 minutes. After 60 minutes the snail has travelled 4 metres. Hence it travels (4 divided by 60) metres each minute. Same principle with the seonds. There are 60 seconds in each minute so each second the snail travels one sixtieth of the distance it travels in a minute. We know that it travels (4/60) metres in a minute so in a second it travels (4/60) divided by 60 again. Hence, to convert in general from meters per hour into metres per second you divide through by 60 then divide by 60 again. This is equivalent to dividing by 3600 (= 60 x 60). Hope this helps.
