Problema Solution
Suppose it takes 3 days for a space vehicle to travel 3 days for a space vehicle to travel from earth to the moon. About how long would it take the same vehicle traveling at the same speed to reach Uranus?
Moon 24,000 mi
Uranus 1,690,000,000 mi
The space vehicle would take about______ days to reach Uranus
Answer provided by our tutors
earth to the moon : days
distance : 24,000
earth to uranus : x days
distance 1,690,000,000
this problem can easily be does by ratio methode!
distance : days
24,000 : 3
1,690,000,000 : X
now we cross multiply
24,000 x X = 3 x 1,690,000,000
therefore, X = 3 x 1,690,000,000 / 24,000
X= 211250 days!
