Answer 1

Answer:

$\pmb{277.5~miles }$

Step-by-step explanation:

Earth travels about 66,600 miles per hour as it revolves around the Sun.

So,

In 3600 sec it travelled =66600 miles

In 1 sec it travelled=$\dfrac{66600}{3600} =18.5~miles$

HENCE,

in 15 sec it travelled =${18.5×15~miles=277.5~miles }$

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Miles travelled in 1h=66600

Miles travelled in 1 sec=66600/3600

=18.5miles

Miles travelled in 15 seconds =18.5×15

=277.5miles
