4500 seconds

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : A snail travels 80 feet in 50 minutes.

Formula for speed = $\dfrac{\text{Distance}}{\text{Time}}$

Speed of snail = $\dfrac{80}{50}$ feet per minute. (1)

Let x be the time taken by snail to travel 120 feet, then speed of snail will be :

$\dfrac{120}{x}$ (2)

If rate is same, then we have from (1) and (2)

$\dfrac{120}{x}=\dfrac{80}{50}\\\\\Rightarrow\ x=\dfrac{120\times50}{80}=75\text{ minutes}$

In seconds, $75\times60=4500\text{ seconds}$

Hence, the snail will take 4500 seconds to travel 120 feet.
