Question

A satellite travels about 2272 miles in 8 minutes about how many miles does a satellite travel in 3 minutes

Answer 1

852 miles

Explanation:

We presume the speed is constant, so the satellite will travel 3/8 the distance in 3/8 the time.

... d = (3/8)·(2272 miles) = 852 miles

_____

1 minute is 1/8 of 8 minutes, so 3 minutes is 3/8 of 8 minutes.
