As Jupiter revolves around the sun, it travels at a rate of approximately 8 miles per second. Convert this rate to kilometers per second. At this rate, how many kilometers will Jupiter travel in 2 seconds? In your computations, assume that 1 mile is equal to 1.6 kilometers.

If 1 mi=1.6 km, then 8 mi= 12.8 km. 12.8 km per second, so for two seconds, Jupiter will travel 25.6 kilometers.
