Problema Solution
As Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately
6
miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Saturn travel in
5
minutes?
Answer provided by our tutors
1 min = 60 sec
1 sec = 1/60 min
v = 6 mi/sec
v = 6 mi/(1/60)sec
v = 6*60 mi/min
v = 360 mi/min
t = 5 min
d = the distance traveled
d = v*t
d = 360*5
d = 1,800 mi
In 3 minutes Saturn will travel distance of 1,800 miles.
