Answer: 52,416,000 km
Step-by-step explanation:
If a comet travels 273,000 km/hr
1) Multiply 273,000 km by 24 hours to find how far the comet travels in one day
2) multiply the answer from 1 by 8 to determine how far it travels in 8 days
1) [tex]\frac{273,000 km}{hr}[/tex]*[tex]\frac{24 hr}{1 day}[/tex] = [tex]\frac{6,552,000km}{day}[/tex] (hours cancel out)
2)[tex]\frac{6,552,000km}{day}[/tex]*8 day= 52,416,000 km in 8 days
The comet approximately travelled 52,416,000km from when it began to travel to when it reached Earth. Hope this helped :)
