Question

As Saturn revolves around the sun, it travels at a speed of approximately 6 miles per second. Convert this speed to miles per minute. At this speed, how many miles will Saturn travel in 4 minutes? Do not round your answers.

Answer 1

Alright we know that there are 60 seconds in a minute. So you multiply the 60 seconds by 6 which is 360. So every minute Saturn revolves around the 60 at 360 miles per minute, which makes sense.

To find how far it'll travel in 4 minutes, you multiply 360 by 4.
In 4 minutes Saturn would travel 1440 miles.

Answer 2

Saturn will travel 86,400 miles in 4 minutes.
