Let’s assume the following given:

Speed = 129 m/s

Time = 2,900,000 s

Find:

Distance = ?


Solution:


In order to get the distance, we multiply speed and time.


Distance = Speed * Time

Distance = 129 m/s * 2,900,000 s

Distance = 374,100,000 m

Next, we will convert the distance from meters to kilometers by dividing the distance with 1,000 m.

374,100,000 m / 1,000 m = 374,100 km

The last step would be converting the travelled distance in kilometers to the nearest ten thousand.

Therefore, the travelled distance in kilometers to the nearest ten thousand is 370,000 km.
