Question

The speed of a space shuttle orbiting the earth is 28,325mph.

How many miles does the space shuttle travel in 5 days?

Answer 1

First to find out the hours times 24 (as there are 24 hours in a day) by the number of days
24x5=120
Then times the hours by the speed
28,325*120=3399000
that will be the amount of miles it will have travelled in the time

Answer 2

In one day, there is 24 hours, so in 5 days, there is 120 hours.
As you've got this information, you've then got to multiply the two numbers together.
28,325*120= 3399000
Therefore, the space shutt;e travels 3,399,000 miles in 5 days
Hope this helps :)
