Question

A comet travels at an average speed of 233,000 km/h.

Answer 1

Answer:

39,144,000 km

Step-by-step explanation:

Hi there!

Distance traveled = time * speed

Given speed: 233000 km/h

Given time: 7 days

It's important to note that our speed is given in per hours and out time is given in days. So in order to find how far the comet has traveled we must convert days to hours.

There are 24 hours in 1 day.

So to convert days to hours simply multiply amount of days by 24

24 * 7 = 168

So the comet has traveled for 168 hours

Now we can find distance traveled

Once again distance traveled = time * speed

Given speed is 233000 km/h

Given time is 168 hours

Distance = 168 * 233000 = 39,144,000

So the comet has traveled for a total distance of 39,144,000 km
