Answer 1

Answer: 44.89 times

Explanation:

Given that the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake

Given that the formula involved is:

R2/R1 = (V1/V2)^2

Let V1 = earth velocity and R1 = earth orbital distance

While R2 = Makemake velocity and R2 = orbital distance.

Since the earth's average velocity is about 6.7 times faster than that of planetoid Makemake, then,

V1/V2 = 6.7

Substitute this in the formula above

R2/R1 = (6.7)^2

R2/R1 = 44.89

Cross multiply

R2 = 44.89R1

Therefore, Makemake's orbit is about 44.89 times larger than the earth's orbit.
