Question

Suppose you drive an average of 25 miles a day, for a total of 60 years in a lifetime. The total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth _____ times. Take the circumference of the earth as 25,000 mile

Answer 1

The total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.

Total distance traveled

The total distance traveled at a given speed and time of motion is calculated as follows;

Distance = speed x time

$Distance = \frac{25 \ miles}{day} \times \frac{365 \ days}{1 \ year} \times 60 \ years\\\\Distance = 547, 500 \ miles$

Distance round the Earth

The distance round the earth or circumference of the earth of the earth has been given as 25,000 miles

Number of times round the earth

$n = \frac{547,500}{25,000} \\\\ n = 21.9 \ times \ \approx 22 \ times$

Thus, the total distance you would have covered is equivalent to going around the earth 22 times.
