It's no small feat to travel 160,000,000km, to visit 200 million children, in 800 million homes, in only 34 hours... Luckily Santa has magic on his side. So if Santa travels 16,000,000km in 34 hours (time differential) How fast does he go in 1 hour?

First, let's find speed:


v\text{ = }(x)/(t)\text{ = }\frac{16,000,000\text{ km}}{34\text{ hours}}\text{ = 470588.23 km/h}

then we can conclude that in 1 hour its speed will be:

470588.23 km/h (that's how fast he goes)
