Yes, it is; distance/time is a speed determination. However, it would only be a USEFUL metric if we were talking about the speed of a snail, or moss growing.
An important part of any mathematical problem is to make sure that the units of measurement are standardised. If a problem quotes lengths in yards, feet and inches and the answer has to be expressed in inches then the yards and feet measurements need to be converted to inches. Equally, is the speed of a caterpillar crawling along a twig is measured in inches per minute but the speed needs to be expressed in miles per hour then two lots of conversions are required ; inches to miles and seconds to hours. A set of conversion tables for both imperial and metric measurements are essential for this kind of work.
A wheel with a diameter of 12 inches will have an angular speed of 560.2 revs per minute.

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.
Snails move about 3 inches (8cm) per minute.
A garden snail goes to a speed of 0.03 mph. An average snail gets 2.36 inches in a minute, and per day about 2.8 m.
1/20 of an inch per minute 1 inch per 20 minutes
Snail SpeedSnails move by alternating body contractions with stretching, with a proverbially low speed (1 mm/s) is a typical speed for an adult. So to answer your question that would be about 60 mm or 2.36 inches per minute on average depending on the exact type of snail and terrain.
1.26 inches per min. * 60 = 75.6 inches per hour.4.80 hours * 75.6 inches per hour = 362.88 inches traveled.362.88 inches / 12 = 30.24 feet traveled.
Metres. 0.01 millimetres is one hundredth of a millimetre - about the rate our fingernails grow !

Garden snail, 0.03 mph
the speed of garden snail in kilometres per hour is 0.048 km/h

They actually move at the same speed.
