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

Answer:

The answer to your question is

a) $\frac{480 mi}{min}$

b) distance = 2400 mi

Step-by-step explanation:

a) 8 mi/s  convert to mi/min

$\frac{8 mi}{s}  x  \frac{60 s}{1 min}  = \frac{8 x 60 mi }{min}  = \frac{480 mi}{min}$

b) $speed = \frac{distance}{time}$

          distance = speed x time

          distance = $\frac{480 mi}{min} x 5 min$

         distance = 2400 mi
