Answer:
30.667, in 1 hour = 40 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
Set up a proportion so 1.5 miles / 2.25 minutes.
So 1.5/2.25 = x/46
solve for x 1.5(46)/2.25 = x so x = 30.667
In one hour is 60 minutes so 1.5(60)/2.25 = x
Beautiful ! What a great exercise ! I won't even check to verify
that 1:10⁻¹⁹ is an appropriate scale to map the Milky Way onto a
football field. I'll just accept it and go from there.
(4.4 light years) x (10⁻¹⁹) = (2.5848 x 10¹³ miles) x (10⁻¹⁹)
= 2.5848 x 10⁻⁶ mile
= 0.164 inch .
(1,391,400 kilometers) x (10⁻¹⁹) = 1.3914 x 10⁻¹⁰ meter
Research Conclusions:
If the Milky Way shrinks to fit on a football field, then
-- Alpha Centauri is 0.164 inch from us.
-- The sun's diameter is about 1.39 times that of a Hydrogen atom.
Playing with this same fun concept a little more:
-- The Earth is sailing around in its orbit, once a year,
about 0.000015 millimeter from the sun.
-- It takes light almost 27 years to travel 1 inch !
wow !
