Question

As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 8 miles per second. Convert this speed to kilometers per second. At this speed, how

many kilometers will Jupiter travel in 15 seconds? In your computations, assume that I mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers. Do not round your answers

Answer 1

Speed is 12.8km/sec. Jupiter will travel 192km in 15 sec.

Explanation:

`(8mi)/(1sec) * (1.6km)/(1mi) = 12.8km/sec`

`(12.8km)/(1sec) * 15sec = 192km`
