Question

The Jules Verne novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" tells the story of the voyage of the submarine Nautilus. If one league equals 3 miles, how many kilometers did the Nautilus travel on its journey? Please round your answer to the 100's place

Answer 1

The Nautilus from the novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea" would have traveled approximately 96,600 kilometers, after converting leagues to miles and then to kilometers and rounding to the nearest 100's place.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Jules Verne novel "20,000 Leagues Under the Sea," the submarine Nautilus travels 20,000 leagues. To convert this distance to kilometers, we first convert leagues to miles and then convert miles to kilometers.

Since 1 league equals 3 miles, the Nautilus travels:

20,000 leagues × 3 miles per league = 60,000 miles

1 mile is approximately 1.60934 kilometers, so:

60,000 miles × 1.60934 kilometers per mile = 96,560.4 kilometers

Rounding to the nearest 100's place, the Nautilus would have traveled 96,600 kilometers on its journey.

Answer 2

96558.00 kilometers

Step-by-step explanation:

From the title of the novel, it is assumed that the submarine covered 20,00 leagues on its journey.

1 league = 3 miles, therefore;

20,000 leagues = 20,000 x 3 = 60,000 miles.

1 mile = 1.6093 km

Hence,

60,000 miles = 60,000 x 1.6093 km

= 96,558 km

= 96558.00 km to the 100's place

Therefore, 96558.00 kilometers was covered by Nautilus during the journey.
