Question

An asteroid is 10^{8} miles away from earth, and it is traveling at a speed of 10^{5} miles per day. How many days will it take the comet to reach earth? Exponents can be entered in your answer in the form 10^2

Answer 1

It will take 10^3 days for the comet to reach earth.

Explanation:

10^8 = 100,000,000

10^5 = 100,000

100,000,000/100,000 = 1,000

1,000 is equal to 10^3

So it will take the comet 10^3 days to reach earth.
