Question

As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 8 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Jupiter travel in 5 minutes? Do not round your answers

Answer 1

The answer to your question is

a)
`(480 mi)/(min)`

b) distance = 2400 mi

Explanation:

a) 8 mi/s convert to mi/min

`(8 mi)/(s)  x  (60 s)/(1 min)  = (8 x 60 mi )/(min)  = <strong>(480 mi)/(min)`

b)
`speed = (distance)/(time)`

distance = speed x time

distance =
`(480 mi)/(min) x 5 min`

distance = 2400 mi
