Question

A comet travels at an average speed of 282,000 km/h.

It takes 6 days for the comet to reach Earth.
Find the distance, in km, the comet travelled.

Answer 1

40,608,000 km or 4.0608×
`10^(7)` km

Explanation:

Speed(km/h) = Distance(km)/Time(Hours)

Distance = Speed × Time

6 days = 24 × 6 = 144 hours

282,000 km/h × 144 hours = 40,608,000 km
