As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 8 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per m
inute. At this speed, how many miles will Jupiter travel in 4 minutes? Do not round your answers.
1 answer:
First to convert it you need to multiply 8 miles per second by 60 seconds because there are 60 seconds in a minute:
<u> 8 miles </u> x <u> </u><u>60 s
</u><u />1 second 1 min
The unit of seconds will cancel out so you will get 480 miles/ min
To get how far it travels in 4 min you need to multiply the speed by 4 minutes
<u>
</u><u> 480 miles </u> x 4 min<u>
</u><u /> 1 min
The unit of minutes will cancel out to get 1920 miles
Therefore, jupiter travels at 480 miles per minute and in 4 minutes, it will travel 1920 miles.

If angle a is 24ft and angle c is 30ft, then angle b is 126ft.
Unit rate means how much does it cost for 1 unit
140 for 18ft^2
divide by 18
140/18=7.77777777777777
so the unit rate is $7.78 per square foot
