Please help ASAP!!
A turtle and a snail are 360 meters (who counts this again?) apart, and they start to move towards each other at 3 pm. If the turtle is 11 times as fast as the snail, and they met at 3:40 pm, find the speed of each.
Thank you!! :)

Answer:

Turtle = 11 m / min      

Snail = 1 m / min

Total approach speed = 12 m/min

360 m / (12 m/min) = 30 min

Separation is 30  min       at assumed speed of 1 m/min

But we know the separation is 40 min

So turtle moves at 3/4 * 11 m / min = 33 m/ 4 min

Snail moves at 3/4 * 1 m /min = 3/4 m / mi

Total approach speed = (33 + 3) / 4 = 9 m / min

So in 40 min

9 m / min * 40 min = 360 m

(Leaving out those units,  they approach at 12 * unit of speed)

So the unit of speed has to be 360 m / 40 min = 9 m / min
