Question

as the earth revolves around the sun it travels at a speed of 18 miles per second. covert this speed to miles per minute at this speed how many miles will the earth travel in 2 min

Answer 1

If we have the speed of 18 miles per second, 18miles/s
to find out what is the speed in 1 minute we will need to multiply 18 by 60, as there are 60 seconds in 1 minute
18 miles..............................1 second
?miles..................................60 seconds(1min)
18*60=1080 miles
we have 1080 miles/minute
in 2 minutes we have 1080*2=2160 miles
hope it helps
