Question

While in orbit, a space shuttle travels at a speed of 28,200 kilometers per hour. What is the total number of kilometers traveled by the space shuttle in one day? Write your answer in scientific notations (I am not demanding this, it is a math problem my teacher put on a worksheet).

Answer 1

it is 676800

hope this helps

Answer 2

Answer: Time = distance/speed. T = 1,200,000,000/28,000. This can be cancelled to 1,200,000/28. Rounding 28 to 30 for the estimate, divide by another ten: 120,000. Then divide by the remaining 3 from 30: 120,000/3 = 40,000. It will take approximately 40,000 hours.
